A Host of Golden Daffodils

Spending a few years in the "temperate climate" of Scotland teaches me sight of golden daffodils signifies the arrival of spring (ignoring the occasional hail and snow that we still get these days). Of course, who can forget the beautiful "Daffodil poem" that we recited back in school. It was in the tropics then and none in the class had seen the flower before!

Marine Botany

Never knew that a seemingly lifeless rocky beach could offer such a myriad of colours and diversity of lives, therefore, I have to agree that nature is the best classroom to learn...marine botany (+ zoology, to include the red stuff between rocks)!
