I love Daffodils, but don't have any. I must change that. I had no idea there were so many varieties. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda,
DeleteGlad you enjoyed my post about March birth flowers and gemstones. I love daffodils, too! They are my favorite early spring flower. I planted new bulbs in my front garden bed last fall. So far only the tips are showing. Still too cold here in the mountains of Pennsylvania. They should be blooming here in May. You should definitely plant some this coming Fall. They are so pretty and dependable.
Happy Gardening,
Jane
