The people who manage the current park's landscaping, the Central Park Conservancy, are also a very smart group of people. The landscapers well know the variety of daffodil seen in this close up photograph is a variety who's formal name is Narcissus poeticus. It is commonly known as the Poet's Daffodil.

The one photographed here leads up the hill behind the Dairy to Literary Walk, which includes statues to men who wrote, what else? Poetry!

Poem by e e cummings

in time of daffodils (who know the goal of living is to grow) forgetting why, remember how

in time of lilacs who proclaim the aim of waking is to dream, remember so (forgetting seem)

in time of roses (who amaze our now and here with paradise) forgetting if,remember yes

in time of all sweet things beyond whatever mind may comprehend, remember seek (forgetting find)

and in a mystery to be (when time from time shall set us free) forgetting me,remember me

-by poet e. e. Cummings
