The entire root of this year’s Boston Marathon was aligned with thousands of yellow daffodils.
The trellis at Christopher Columbus Park was lined with hundreds of them as well.
Placing daffodils along the route is a way to remember the 2013 bombing and those that lost their lives, were injured and those who rush to their aid.
Apparently more than 8,000 bulbs were started in the Netherlands in the summer and shipped to Olsons Greenhouse in Raynham and spread throughout the Marathon routes.
One of the co-owners Matthew Piscitelli was at the finish line at the time of the bombing and wanted to do his part to honor all those affected that day.
He and co-owner Olive Olson nurtured the daffodils from bulb to flower over the winter.
