On his website, Sir Brian posted: “Remember those 3,000 daffodil bulbs that Team Daffodil diligently planted a few months ago? Well, we are blessed – they all came up and are looking very jolly in the early Spring sunshine on Elstead Church Green.
“There is just one problem – they’re not the ones we planned!
“The vision was a sea of Ice Follies, cream with pale yellow trumpets — harmonising with the limestone church walls and the perfect backdrop for photos after church weddings. But it was not to be. Due to a supply error we have a sea of Golden Aura!!!
“So, at first I was disappointed… but the more I look at our result, the more I think it was somehow meant to be.
“These very traditional, ‘natural’ narcissus flowers look pretty splendid, waving in the sunshine – and they harmonise nicely with the pre-existing clumps around the trees.”
The village decided the show must go on, with the church’s vicar Rev Hannah Moore blessing the flowers on Friday afternoon.
