What’s Growing On? Daffodils, Of Course!

You gotta love daffodils. Not only are they marvelously easy to grow, they’re also not a favourite snack of squirrels, so you know you’re going to see flowers in the spring since the bulbs will still be there.

Here are a few shots of my daffodils finally blooming:




These cuties started to sprout weeks ago, and for a few days when it got really cold, I was concerned that I’d lose them. But the little buggers hung on. Yup, you gotta love daffodils!

Now, if only the tulips would get going. They’re taking their sweet time.

  4. No daffs here. Not even daff foliage. We're still at the crocus stage as there is snow covering most of the ground yet. I'm with you: hurry up plants!

  5. Mine are just about done. It was nice having them around for a while, but I'm happy to move onto other blooms.

    Although, maybe if mine were two toned like yours I'd miss them a lot more. Yours are really nice.

  6. Anonymous, you are right; they are going as fast as they can. But a little push doesn't really hurt, does it? Those flowers are so pretty that I can't wait to see them!

    Christine, my daffs are finally in full bloom; I'm really happy about that. We can't help but want something to come to life after a long winter!

    MBT, I love this two-tone type. They look like little happy faces. Sure I'm enjoying them for now, but I also look forward to other blooms, like you.
