Exciting times with the earliest of the daffodils beginning to get going...some of these pictures show them shortly after opening...please note, some will change color as they mature...
Cassata...
group picture....
Mount Hood....the trumpet will turn creamy white...
Barrett Browning...several views...
Mondragon...
Changing Colors...
Jet Fire...
Blazing Star...which doesn't appear to be registered...
(it's been hard to get a decent picture of that one!)
Some follow ups from yesterday....
Group picture of Easter Bonnet...
I thought you might like to see where I moved Cum Laude to...
That's a section of a corner bed....you can see, more daffodils to come (yea)...try not to see those daylilies that are out of the ground...since last fall....tough things that they are, ready to go....(somewhere else....they're out because I have no room for them...)
You know I like Cum Laude...
I suspect these are Orangery....we'll know in a couple days....
Minor Monarque without the bad leaves...but, unfortunately, a little dirty from the rain...
Better picture of Loch Hope....
Sideling Hill...
An Ice Follies daffodil turning white...
It occurred to me that these may very well be King Alfred...
Now for some of the unknowns or wrong names or whatever....I was at the post office today and admired clumps of these blooming there...I chuckled as we probably got them at the same place (mine in 2002)...somewhere not really known for having correct varieties, at least in my experience.....supposed to be February Gold, but I don't think it is....maybe next year I'll have the real February Gold to compare...
A nice yellow, holds up well to the weather, but unknown...
Another reliable one (coming up through a peony cage....I'm not sure who was there first)...
Another great yellow...blooms always seem perfect (although not perfectly placed in front of the gas meter....ha)...
This one was bought as Curly....it clearly isn't...
Going to be blooming soon....I'll have to watch as in the 10 day forecast there are a couple of evenings below 40.....crossing my fingers that the temps will remain fine as there are so many buds...imagine the wonderful fragrant show it could put on!
Clematis armandii...
(There's actually a big section lying on the ground....you'll notice I didn't show you that...I'm planning to get out there and tie it up...soon)

I'm having a little fun with the new Blogger feature that lets you add pages....if you're curious about how many daffodil varieties I grow, check the Daffodils page at the top....my plan is to keep updating it...we'll see....)
