Tens of thousands of people come to Farndale each spring to see just one flower - the daffodil. Daffodils flourish here because the land has never been intensively farmed. Sanjida O'Connell meets Andrew Windram from Natural England who explains that these are wild daffodils and Britain's only native species. They differ from the cultivars usually grown in gardens in that they are much smaller with slender leaves. They've been growing here since the end of the ice age and would once have been far more widespread across the Dales and North York Moors, but have been lost because of intensive farming. Sanjida finds a mutant daffodil flower that looks more like a carnation.
