Very pretty daffodil bed--a wonderful looking collection. And I wonder why the Australians bloom early for rthe most part... I'm wondering if you are entering any shows this spring? Or judging? And is this inclement weather messing up your show specimens...? You are pretty quiet about your daffodil expertise...So many questions...I hope I don't sound rude.... (-:

I just don't have enough sun to create a good space for the show daffs. And the '55 mile per hour' types are taking over the other spaces. I think I am going to have to do a revamping of my April garden and take out some of the daffs that have become big clumps or look out of place (just about all of them)...hate to compost them but I have nowhere else to go with them now.

I ordered a lot of 'Pink charm' daffs from B & B's sale and they substituted 'Accent' and I planted them all over along the front walk. They are blooming now--heads facing downward and too tall--not right at all and I will have to dig them out (200) and find some spot in the back for them...I should have read the label and paid more attention to what I was doing...

I did make some big bouquets and will have more for the neighbors today. I just LUV daffodil bouquets!

Here is one of the beds that needs to be remodeled (piture taken a couple weeks ago and now it is jam packed with daff blooms). I think I have about 8 kinds of daffs jumbled into this bed and they aren't doing a thing for each other...

I suppose this post qualifies as things 'to do' in the March garden...I should go out now while I can see they bloom type and mark the daff clumps with string or something so I know which are which when I want to dig and move them.
