A bunch of daffodils does so much good

The daffodil heralds spring around the world and nowhere more so than in Dunedin where the Rotary Club of Dunedin in District 9980 has over the years planted over 277,000 daffodils around Dunedin and Mosgiel, all blooming in September.  For the 32nd year the Rotary Club of Dunedin is raising funds for the Royal New Zealand Foundation for the Blind and the Roxburgh Children's Health Camp.  Volunteers will pick 50,000 blooms from member Les Cleveland's property at Saddle Hill and it is hoped that their sale will bring in $10,000
