The long cold winter is having a major impact on Scotland's daffodil crop.

Grampian Growers, based just north on Montrose, produce six million bunches of daffodils a year.

It said it has missed major exports because its flowers are blooming about three weeks later than normal.

The company warns it could face losses of almost £1m if it doesn't get the weather growers need over the next few weeks.

Mark Clark from Grampian Growers told STV News said:"We are very concerned what the next three or four weeks will bring in terms of our flower production.

"We have missed Easter which is the main part of normally our season and we have missed Mother's day so we are now very reliant on the supermarket trade within the UK.

"It terms of flower production, we need to get up to ten or 11 or 12 degrees in the next five to seven days to get the crop to start to produce and start to grow in length in order to get more bunches picked per day."
