Operation Daffodil. There are a few hills along the highway between Anchor Point and Homer that face the sunshine in such a way that they nearly scream to have flowers growing on them. A woman I know, for several years now, has heard this calling and ordered hundreds of daffodil bulbs to plant on these hills. She and a small gang of women sneak out at night in the fall and climb these hills along the road to plant daffodils. When passing car headlights shine on them they lie back against the hill so they aren't exposed doing their good deed. Each spring daffodils now grow where they shouldn't and people are left to wonder how it happened.
