From Constantine to Mullion and across to Marazion, we are in the heart of Cornish daffodil country. Nowhere else in Cornwall grows them in such profusion. Bright yellow fields are commonplace from Christmas to the end of March. The feeling of seeing a brilliant yellow fields full of these gorgeous blooms in the middle of winter is so uplifting.

| It probably looks like we are being very naughty picking someone elses daffodils, but the pickers have been in several times and what is left are the open daffodils that are not picked. We are on a footpath - mostly! |
 |
| The commercial pickers come in before there is much evidence of open flowers. They pick them to sell when still in bud. |
In fact flowers come out in profusion in January. Not only snowdrops, but camellias are found in abundance, especially in Penzance.
