Tuesday 16th March 2010 Tweet if you see a daffodil in bloom
Tourism chiefs in Cumbria have taken the unprecedented step of asking
people to send a tweet on Twitter if they find a daffodil in bloom.
The cold winter has put the spring flowering plants like the daffodil
back a month. The ‘Daffs Watch’ appeal hopes people will post
sightings of the flowers on social networking sites when the pretty
yellow blooms finally show.
Eric Robson, Chairman of Cumbria Tourism, said: "It's virtually
unheard of not to have seen a single daffodil in the Lake District by
the middle of March. It's an industry of its own with visitors coming
here just to see them by the lakesides. The upside is that because
they are late, it means they should be out and looking their best for
the Easter holidays." Cumbria
