""The vision was that we would plant them in the winter, after the fires, and they would come up in the spring as a symbol of renewal.""
""I think because the fire knocked us down at our knees, most people just needed something for hope.""
Daffodils bloom in Bonny Doon, California, representing resilience and hope for residents recovering from the 2020 CZU fires and the pandemic. Michael Geluardi initiated a community effort to plant these flowers as a symbol of renewal after the devastating fire destroyed 1,500 structures. While some community members expressed a preference for native species, the daffodils have become a powerful symbol of hope for many residents like Shannon Robbins, who sought to uplift their community during a challenging time.
