#WheresWaldo? More like, where are the daffodils? 🔎💐 We recently stumbled across a crazy use for March’s #FlowerOfTheMonth. Daffodils are being used in @shenandoahnps by historians to locate old homesites! It turns out that when early European settlers built their first houses, they would bring the hardy daffodil bulbs and plant them around their homes. Because the flowers are poisonous to most animals, they’ve remained undisturbed for centuries. Even after the structure is torn down, lost to time, or buried deep beneath the soil, the flowers still bloom every spring. By locating a patch of daffodils, historians have found old homesteads and cemeteries that were thought to be lost. It’s an Appalachian version of a good #SherlockHolmes story. #Flowers #Sherlock #Settlers #Daffodils #March #Shenandoah #ShenandoahNationalPark #NationalPark #Virginia #History #Historian #Homestead #Home #House #Time #Old #Ancient #Cemeteries #Mountains #Geology #Archeology 📸: @nationalparkservi...
