Look what I found yesterday in the garden?
My first Daffodil of the season. This variety normally start to bloom mid november trough december.
They are very fragrants.
First DAFFODIL on November 2nd ??
It is very strange that a Daffodil is blooming at the same time of my Hybiscus !!
What type is it and when did you plant it. It is lovely.

Huummm I don't know the name of those bulbs. They look a lot like Paperwhites, but yellow.
I placed an order a few years ago for the left over bulbs and 500 or more of them arrived all mixed together.
These little Daffodils are so fragrants !
I hope all of mine don't do that. I would miss having them in the spring.
A lot of the fall blooming ones will bloom again in the spring-just like the mums
Doesn't blooming now use up energy stored in the bulb and affect next springs flower size?
I think this variety bloom only in November and December. The flowers will not come back in the spring.
The flowers are really fragrant and they are great indoor.
I am not worry for spring time. IN my garden I have a trillions of daffodils bulbs ... weeee
I envy you as I have none. I looked up varieities that are supposed to bloom well in the south but didn't find any at stores this fall. I guess I need to do mail order. Any suggestions for bulb sellers?

I bought several varieties at the Botanic Garden Fall sale one year. Don't know where I have any planted now, but will see if I can dig a few for you in the spring at RU.
My favorite bulbs website are:
http://www.marlborobulb.com/ - their new website is not so efficient like the old one. Request a catalog and order lots of bulbs. Exceptional prices.
http://www.kvbwholesale.com - check their clearance area and especially at this time of the year, you can find amazing deals on daffodils !!
Thanks, I will take a look at both. Sheila you are a generous woman but I don't want anyone to dig up their daffs. I just need to find a source for the ones that I read do well here.

http://www.kvbwholesale.com buy 300 daffodils bulbs for $39.99 !!!!
Those are the one I have been planted each here and they do great in the DFW area!
The quality is amazing for such a price. You better order before they sell out.
I have naturalized daffs coming up in our ditch and see them coming up all along the way to work.
