First daffodils have blossomed. Good ol’ Rijnveld’s Early Sensation I expected, but the ones by the Juneberry surprised me.
Now, the digging and dividing of perennials, the general autumn cleanup and the planting of spring bulbs are all an act of faith. One carries on before the altar of delayed gratification, until the ground freezes and you can’t do any more other than refill the bird feeder and gaze through the window, waiting for the snow. . . . Meanwhile, it helps to think of yourself as a pear tree or a tulip. You will blossom spectacularly in the spring, but only after the required period of chilling.

I’ll be speaking at the Great Plants Symposium. Join me for a day of incredible garden learning! I’d love to meet you!
Rijnveld’s Early Sensation are a great daffodil. I interplant them with Carlton so have a show of yellow dafs for almost two months.

I’m weeks away from Daffodils, but I am happy for the crocuses and snowdrops!

I spent the weekend in the western lakes and I could not believe the amount of daffs I saw, they were everywhere and seemed even more vibrant this year.
That’s what I thought. Strange, because it doesn’t seem like it’s been particularly warm.
Kathy, I have a few daff blooms about to open too. I think they’re about a week earlier than last year.
