What a beautiful illustration it is too - thank you so much 🥰
Image description: my watercolour painting of a large number of bright yellow daffodils flowering amongst their green leaves in various stages of opening from bud to full flower. Behind is a blue sky with white clouds - the picture has been turned into a book cover with 'Ten Poems about Daffodils' written in black text in a white square at the top. Next to it is a white rectangle bookmark with a small excerpt of the daffofil painting in a square. Underneath is a brown envelope and behind all is a soft yellow background.
