With a freeze expected to hit the area, the 5,000 flowers his team of 125 volunteers from the River Corridor Foundation planted last fall at Mount St. Mary Park in St. Charles sat in jeopardy. But it'll take more than a little cold weather to derail the efforts of Project Daffodil. On Friday, the River Corridor Foundation organized a celebration of the bloom that began about three weeks ago following a winter of high hopes. By planting five different varieties of daffodils, the blooms should continue for another month or so ... weather permitting, of course.
