Here in Saugus by the coast my daffs are about 8" high and lots of buds. i have had croci blooming for about three weeks. They came out when it was warmer but this weird cold spell we have been having has prolonged their blooming season. I have 23 year old daff clumps along my driveway bed that started out as a bag of 50 from Kmart. I put them in when I moved here. I have some pink and white Salomes and the little three flowered yellow kind and bunches of tete a tetes that I keep buying each spring from Homey d's for my window boxes and the half baskets I have hanging on my fence. I have two new 8 packs out there now waiting for a little more warmth. I have a beautiful white called 'capistrano' that i got from a daffodil guy from western mass at his booth at a plant sale. I have some Brent and Becky ones out in my new stone beds planted two years ago. I have 'jetfire' and lots of nameless ones from the big bags. I like doubles and bicolors too. I try to put in at least a dozen every year. what about grape hyacinth? anybody got any coming up yet?
I put this one in last fall and I can't wait to see what will come of them. This is the picture from the bag. I love it when people are amazed by a bouquet of my daffs and they don't know what half of them are!
