And speaking of daffodils. I told you I had moved a whole lot of bulbs to the "Big Bed" that needs a ton of work. Here's what I mean. It's stuffed with blossoms. About four varities, all mixed together. There's not a lot else left down there except some iris. Hopefully that will bloom this year since I have managed to return some sun to the area.
Just another daf that I really like. It spreads very slowly, but I've moved some over the years so that I have a few growing in different places. Hopefully that will mean they won't completely disappear. Variety 'Duke of Windsor.' I think I've had these since before 1990. They are full size- not in the rock garden
And back to the rock garden. This just makes me really happy. This is the Donkeytail, Euphorbia myrsinites, that I bought last year. I got it with a bit of trepidation because I had previously killed one, and it's supposed to be really hard to kill. Well, this one is happy, happy, blooming, and I hope having babies (supposed to do so prolifically) because I'd like to put it a couple of other places.
I did a variety of chores today, including... autumn olive of course (I'm trying to do a little bit almost every day). Shopping (stay tuned for a big purchase), editing and stuff.

I always love seeing the daffodils in spring. That donkeytail is very cool looking.
Ann- it's the first time I've had a donkeytail bloom. My first one died, and I got this one after bloom season last year.
Lulu: "Our Mama and Dada had a lot of daffodils out in front of their house back in New York! They found the bulbs out in a field on the land behind their house that used to be a farm and transplanted a bunch of them to their yard. I wonder how those daffodils are doing these days ..."
Lulu- knowing daffodils, I'll bet they are just fine!
