well, it's just as bleek predicted.
we had a nice spring rain, and the eggs got their legs!

some of them are still squat, badseed; others are merely short (tallest might have a 5" stem). A few remain eggs. They're all pretty, but I like the eggs best.
So I guess the only really unusual thing about them was that they opened up before getting a stem of any length.

Toxi, those prices at old house gardens are pretty astounding aren't they? Some of the other kinds of bulbs vary quite a bit, but it seems that pretty much all the daffs. are really pricey -- so I guess what you've got are pretty rare. I sure would love to have a few. I'll send you a mail.

I've been digging out from under ivy too. I found some nice hyacinths this year just in time for them to come out and bloom.
