The daffodils have appeared earlier this year on the Brixham Road, I think. Last year, there was a ludicrous national campaign to try to eliminate daffodils from the country under the heading "We hate daffodils!". This type of isolationist approach to the environment, which seeks to eschew anything that was not "here" "originally" is thoroughly flawed, of course, as "this country" used to be on the equator and there has been a free run of species across the planet over time. Daffodils are non-invasive, I would argue, and I would be far more sympathetic to the elimination of Japanese knotweed.
