BELFAST, Maine (AP) The town of Belfast is inching toward a goal of planting a million flowers. Elisabeth Wolfe, who launched the effort, said this is the fourth year people have worked to plant bulbs through the Belfast Daffodil Project.
I remember my mom showing me the tulips of Holland one time in a magazine article or something. Everywhere you looked, it was just huge swaths of color. And when I was a kid, it s not like I was some huge fan of flowers or anything. I just remember being mesmerized by all the colors.
As an adult I m much more appreciative of those kinds of things. Granted, I have two whatever-the-opposite-of-green-is, thumbs. I m relatively sure I could kill a plant by looking at it. As opposed to my wife, who seems to have magical powers when it comes to that sort of thing.
This is beautiful.
A beautiful civic project, and we all get to witness the beauty. Now, and for many years to come.
4 years ago, Elisabeth Wolfe envisioned the beauty. And she’s the driving force behind it happening. And it is happening.
Her vision was to see daffodils in Belfast. Lots and lots of daffodils. Everywhere. A million daffodils.
Elisabeth Wolfe is the founder of The Belfast Daffodil Garden This project is by you and for you. It is a celebration of Maine- as life is . Thank you Belfast Community for all you do to make our community one of the best places in the world to live”
