Some folks in Sandcreek Township only know him as the “Daffodil Man” or “Daffodil Dale.”
At least that’s how Dale Fleetwood, 72, of County Road 600S said he’s been occasionally identified when people write into the Republic’s “Orchids and Onions” column.
For more than 15 years, Fleetwood — a retired Cummins Inc. employee — has been planting daffodils along rural roads in southern Bartholomew County, as well as along U.S. 31, according to his daughter, Marci McCauley, Elizabethtown.
“He does this to share the beauty of these flowers with all of his neighbors,” McCauley said.
