Hi! I'm new to this forum, thought I'd pop by and see what's blooming :-) I see some familiar DG'ers here and a few I haven't met before so a big Hi to you all :-) There's still about a month until my daffs start blooming but I'm sure enjoying your beautiful photos.

Steve - Daffodils move deeper after they're planted. My daffs seem intent on reaching the center of the earth ..... whenever I've wanted to move established clumps I've had to dig pretty deep, at least 12 inches, possibly more, I've never measured it. However deep they are they've always flowered though. It is pretty weird that the flowers on yours aren't getting out of the soil. Could the soil be compacted?

Since my daffs are only starting to peek out of the ground I'll share a few photos from last year.

Someone posted a photo of 'Jenny' - she's one of my favorites :-) Hope you don't mind me posting another photo of her - this was mid-May 2007.
