Here's the other photos, I got way-layed (sp?) doing other things so I didn't post these earlier this morning.

Double white/yellow narcissus. Fun thing about these are, they line my driveway. I used to work at a nursery for like 8 years. Every year in the spring, we'd bring in pots and pots of blooming bulbs, tulips, daffys, narcissus, hyacynth etc, if the blooms started to fade, off to the dumpster they would go. I ended up bringing home hundreds and hundreds of pots of bulbs. DH planted them all along our driveway (300 yards long) under 'his' roses (also dumpster plants! When bare-root season was over, any 'funky' roses went into the dumpster, I got like 40! and they line the fence along our driveway)

Anyway, long story, the neighbor who is on the other side of the driveway/fence had his vineyard workers spray round-up along the fence for weeds, guess what it did to my bulbs! He offered to replace them, but I just said no, they were free. That was about 6 years ago. They have only come up and no floweres since then, only foliage. This year, they must have had enough time to recover, because I have a lot of blooms!
