One early spring day, Jim Webster was strolling along the Riverstone Preserve’s cobblestone shore, just downstream from the picnic area. He spotted a cluster of spiky green leaves under a sycamore tree and couldn’t quite identify them. Daffodils crossed his mind, but his friend, after hearing the description and location, suspected they were more likely yellow flag iris.

Curious, they returned to the spot together about ten days later. To their surprise, they found a cluster of daffodils in full bloom, brightening up this unexpected location. 

The mystery remained: how did these daffodils end up here? Whatever the reason, their unexpected appearance was a charming reminder of nature’s resilience and ability to surprise.
