I planted a half of a bag of daffodils this year (I shared them with my parents). About 50 bulbs of "The Works" from White Flower Farm. It's a lot easier for me to buy a mix of bulbs than to pick my favorite daffodil. Here's what's blooming this week. (I'm surprised to have no King Alfred daffodils. Maybe I gave my parents all of the big bulbs.)
All are pretty! The double up in the upper right corner is very nice.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite here is the white in the center.
ReplyDeleteGoodmorning CG,
ReplyDeleteIt gives me pleasure to read your posts and I enjoy witnessing your enthusiasm.
Can't help wondering however that after all your webwork you still find time to actually do the gardening :-)
Narcissus "King Alfred"? Don't know that one. And I ought to, seeing that we garden in the place where King Alfred was born!! Just outside a small town called Wantage, in Oxfordshire, UK. And in the market square they have his statue to prove it ;-)
If you are looking for a delicious late-comer, plant some Narcissus triandrus "Thalia" for next season. I also obtained the citronella version and they are just as lovely as the Spanish species.
I am frantically working to get my own garden pages finsihed. ( After four years' publishing, I changed hosts, and everything is in a mess right now. That includes the garden itself. As soon as I am straight, I would love to have you make a virtual visit).
Regards,
Joco
