The UK is the biggest grower of daffodils in the World. On this Easter Monday, Farming Today visits one of the largest daffodil farms in the country, Winchester Growers in Lands' End in Cornwall. Only 10 percent of the flowers bought in the UK are grown in the UK. But the daffodil is an exception and something of a success story. Growers here export these springtime flowers not only to Europe but also to North America. Farming Today investigates the impact the harsh winter has had on the crop and finds out what's involved with getting a bunch of daffodils onto the supermarket shelf.
