First daffodils have blossomed. Good ol’ Rijnveld’s Early Sensation I expected, but the ones by the Juneberry surprised me.

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.
