Years ago a friend gave me a clump of this teeny weeny Daffodil. It’s the smallest I’ve ever encountered, having a bloom width of 1″. She said this is the Daffodil that all the Daffodils came from! I don’t know where she got that information but she’s a garden maniac so I concluded she might just know what she’s talking about.

It’s the most vigorous of all my Daffodils. Forming big clumps of 5″ tall brilliant green stems that almost look like super healthy grass. Unstoppable!

Now that’s one to have!

A magical new arrival in our yard on Forsythia Hill. I’ve never seen a Wood Nymph Butterfly!

Nature continues to amaze me. WOW

An amazing bright yellow petal Daffodil with an equally bright orange frilly edge cup that fades into orange and then yellow. WOWZA.

Stunning.

I had to bring in a vase of my early bloomers that were in bud because of our weekend snow storm and low temp of 19 degrees. This beauty opened up gradually over several days.

Blooming now in the garden, bright and happy Evening Primrose flowers. Tall and erect pink and yellow varieties making quite a show.
