It Feels Like Spring...
Daffodils are the absolute harbinger of Spring, and I adore them. All sizes, shapes and colors. The large cupped deep yellow King Alfred was the first daffodils ever planted by yours truly, well over 30 years ago. I was just a beginner then, with no idea of following guidelines or rules, or even - directions. They came up any way, and filled me with wonder at the deep gold. I was smitten! Then I craved the whites, the pinks, the tiny ones, and every one in between. What a thrill to have them blooming in February!
I must remember to plant more around the mailbox, which currently has two clumps of an unknown white with single deep yellow cups, that remind me of a petticoat (does anyone even know what that is anymore?). And remember to divide the paperwhites in the back. Maybe also get more to plant in the front, where I imagine a white garden. And plant more daffodils, always more.
Remember, plant more flowers in more places.
