Lisa Russell is desperately seeking daffodils, with a national shortage of the golden blooms making the hunt hard, she says.
Lisa, who is the fundraising and events coordinator at Taranaki Cancer Society, says the cheerful flowers are an “incredibly important symbol” in the fight against cancer.
“Through Daffodil Day, daffodils help bring the whole community together to remember those we have lost, to celebrate survivors and carers, and to support those experiencing cancer.”
Daffodil Day takes place in August this year, and Lisa is on the hunt for as many fields of golden daffodils as she can find.
“We are looking for anyone who has a field of daffodils set to bloom this August to help us paint the region yellow. We can organise people to come and pick the flowers so reach out to us and let us know if you will have some available.”
