Reflections on finding daffodils growing wild on Bennett Ridge Road, and learning from yet another Adair Countian, that around here, they are properly called March lilies
Comments re article 74172 Billy Fudge On the name March Lilies vs Daffodils

By Guy Babin

I must come clean and must publically confess my failure to properly enculturate.

Just today as I traveled from Tony Scott's farm on Bennett Ridge Road riding in the truck with his father in law Glen Posy, his son Conner and Charles the wonder dog, I asked if daffodils really do grow wild in our neck of the Kentucky hills. Mr. Glenn assured me they do, but that they are more properly referred to as March lilies. I was a skeptic thinking lilies were a different flora altogether . . .



Then I read the entry rendered by our local expert on such matters, which has inadvertently placed me in my from off place by the polite, yet most of the time correct, Mr. Billy Joe Fudge esq.

Mr. Glenn, I humbly apologize. We folks from off, need more time than most. We're thankful you and everyone we've encountered here in our lovely Adair County are very patient!
