While there is no-one out on the street selling daffodils in 2021 due to current Covid restrictions, people can still show support for the fundraising initiative.
The importance of the day and the symbolism of the daffodil was not lost on keen local photographer Tanya Galwey.
She eagerly snapped a picture of her daughter Eliza, 6, admiring the daffodils in Glebe Park, Bowral - opposed Bowral and District Hospital - with the hope of raising awareness for this year's Daffodil fundraising effort.
