Daffodils have become a very popular crop in west Cornwall in recent years. This colourful display is either due to the plants being grown for a bulb crop, when they are allowed to flower and die back to build up the bulb, or, owing to a late flowering following cold weather early in the year, there has been a glut and it has not been viable to pay the cost of picking them in bud for the cut flower market.
