The rest of my daffodils are coming into their own. You've seen them all before, but not this year. These are the lovely bi-colored ones, Narcissus Delnashaugh.
This one always makes me smile because these bulbs came from my family farm in NY. The old-fashioned double daffs were a favorite of my Grandma Leary.
Going back to another two-colored one, this is 'Duke of Windsor,' one of my personal favorites. It spreads very slowly, so I don't get big clumps of it like I do some of the others, but it manages to keep hanging on.
I think this variety is looking the best it ever has. This is 'Pistachio,' which is supposed to be yellow-green. It never is, but this may be the closest it's come. The wind knocked a few of these over, so we now have a little bouquet of them in the house, too.
I wouldn't mind a couple other varieties, but no plans to do anything about it at the moment.
I went to the food bank in the morning, and then worked all day on listing campsites for the book.

I think there is an unwritten law that says you have to take pictures of daffodils every year. After a long winter, they're the best thing there is. Love the double ones.
ReplyDeleteI certainly follow that unwritten law, but we've just got plain yellow ones.
ReplyDeleteAnn- I like that law!
ReplyDeleteStew- well, even "plain" ones are lovely
