Signs of Spring

Is there any plant more cheerful than daffodils??? One minute it's cold and winter seems never ending and then there they are all bright and bold. They almost seem misplaced with everything else around them still sleeping.

Usually this garden is trimmed back of all the dead branches and debris but I rather like the way the daffodils look as they seem to force their way thru.

This is a variety I planted just for home...and if I was good I'd remember the name. ??..>.^(* Thank goodness I knew I'd never remember so I have it written down in a file. I wish I had done that with other plants in my garden....I've learned it the hard way and now I keep old tags and marking pen in my apron so I can quickly stick a tag by it then go back and record it later. Anyways I love the look of this one...it's creamy yellow, kind of doubly and really huge.




This beauty is one that came in a mixed bag of daffs so I don't know it's name but forever I've wanted to move it to a more prominent spot so last spring I marked it so I would remember to move it in the Fall. I know I did it yet this year it seems that it's only a foot away for it's original spot...I guess it didn't want to go far???

Hyacinth ....can't you just smell their sweet perfume???

These are growing nicely among the onion grass. I really have to do something about all that grass....wonder if you can eat it???

Daffodils

There flames the first gay daffodil

Where winter-long the snows have lain:

Who buried Love, all spent and still?

There flames the first gay daffodil.

Go, Love's alive on yonder hill,

And yours for asking, joy and pain,

There flames the first gay daffodil

Where winter-long the snows have lain!
