Daffodil Day 2009


Lisa and I were approached to photograph Daffodil Day for the Cancer Society this year. A coffee table book is being made about their wonderful volunteers and we were both happy to give our time to such a great charity.

I had the absolute pleasure of spending the morning with the lovely Joan Swift.

She's an amazing woman who has volunteered for the Cancer Society for over thirty years. She is the Auckland area coordinator and works from before dawn till very late each and every Daffodil Day. She's been doing it since the very first Daffodil Day!



Lisa headed over to the Bhana Brothers at 129 Ponsonby Road. Harry, Pravin and Arvind Bhana run a fruiterer/florist shop that has been in their family since the 1930s.



Every year they generously provide the flowers and prepare them to be sold by volunteers at a stand in front of the shop, with all profits going to the Cancer Society. This year they also sold poppies along with the daffodils, and a passing pooch decided that those poppies tasted pretty good!


It was great to see the generosity of people donating and the volunteers who had given up their time for the cause. We'll let you know when the books are printed so you can go and get yourself one.
