Photo of Interest in a Daffodil swap?

Er... maybe 30 or 40 feet long, curving to perhaps 8 to 12 feet in width? I'd have to go out and measure, LOL, but that gives you a general idea. It's sort of kidney shaped, anchored by a mimosa at one end and a maple at the other, with a couple of little maples planted close together at the center back of the bed.

I found a photo showing the early bloomers (Neal's little yellow daffs, white 'Ice Follies' & "Yellow Jonquils for Naturalizing" from Brecks). You can also see a couple of clumps in the new border running along the little line of trees at the back of the yard. Late bloomers are mostly 'Geranium' and 'Yellow Cheerfulness', and there's a scattering of mini dutch iris, crocus, etc. for earlier color.

Daylilies are now budding up to take over the show in that bed. I'm gradually filling in with sweet woodruff as a groundcover, also.

Wish I could jump into this swap this year, but I'm just too far behind on things to add dividing daffs to my to-do list. I'll be watching the fun, though, and cheering everybody on!
