DAISY SPEARS, 4, MAKING THE MOST OF A FIELD OF DAFFODILS AT A FARM NEAR SPALDING, LINCS, ON THURSDAY APRIL 18TH 2013, BEFORE THEY ARE LEFT TO ROT.THE COLD WINTER HAS MEANT THEY FLOWERED TO LATE TO SELL AND WILL NOW BE LEFT TO ROT. This field of golden daffodils is one of many in the UK that is being left to ROT because they have flowered too late to go on sale. The beautiful bright blooms have finally opened following weeks of freezing temperatures, frost and snow. But sadly the yellow flowers will simply be left to wither and die because with Mother’s Day and Easter over there is no longer as much demand for them. “The cold weather means the daffodils are way behind this year and all the varieties have flowered late, ” said Claire Taylor, who works at Taylor’s Bulbs in Spalding, Lincolnshire. “A month ago we were struggling to meet demand as everyone wanted daffodils for Mother’s Day and Easter and there were none around. “Now they have appeared but it is warmer and people are spending more time in the garden, so they are no longer as interested in buying them.
