I'm delighted to announce the much maligned VE bed of daffodils has started blooming. Why did it take 2 years? Did I get immature bulbs (I paid for blooming grade), was the weather a factor, my soil improperly prepared? Don't know but It doesn't matter

I have the beginnings of a beautiful bed. It has Hillstar, Geranium and Thalia. it's raining today and I don't know if it will affect blooming, I hope not. In the future, don't know how much credence I will give to data re: bloom time. Besides, what is early in the south, might be late for northern gardens. These were specifically planted b/c their bloom season was supposed to be the same, but not quite. No big deal, in fact, it's probably better if they're staggered a bit.

I hope to post a pic full of blooms in a few days.
