February Gold


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.
