  1. Can't believe it!

    They blossomed overnight!!!

    Some heartier than others.

    Another wonderful sign of spring.

    Can ya cook them? Or just enjoy them?

    I think the Day Lilies are next.

    The rest of the sprouts are weeds. The ONLY things the deer don't eat. 🙁

    Reminds me (year after year) to sit shotgun on the roof and save the few puny
    Nantucket Hydrangeas in the front yard. The deer calmly wait until the
    blossoms are in fullest bloom then eat them. 🙁

    Daffodil sap is toxic. You CAN cook them, just don't serve them to anyone
    you care about.

    Andy, I guess you never heard of Einstein and the Theory of Relativity.

    For someone who has none, five daffodils sound (relatively) like an
    abundance of riches. :o)

    In our bit of England the big Daffodils first opened over a month ago
    while the Geraniums from last year were still flowering. The little
    Daffodils opened two weeks ago and are now on their way out.

    No daffodils in the garden here yet. We moved into this hours during the
    first week of April 30 years ago. We had looked at it just after the
    blizzard of 77 and the snow was knee deep outside so we never saw the lawn
    or gardens. A few days after we moved in I looked outside and saw a garden
    full of daffodils. It was a pleasant surprise.

    I saw of daffodils yesterday. My wife and I sold them for the Cancer
    Society. We sold $214 worth of them between 9 am and noon.

    Despite there being lots of deer here, I don't have a problem with them in
    my garden. A friend of mine had a beautiful place on Vancouver Island and
    he and his wife loved gardening. The deer loved the results. He was forever
    coming up with new ways to keep the deer out, short of shooting them.

    Andy, Thank you. For some, this may be a picture of a few daffodils in
    someone's garden.

    To me, it is a gift from a friend, a picture of the first signs of
    spring with all the promises of the new and kinder season that is upon us.

    Thank you, Andy. :o)

    My daffys have done bloomed and most of the early blooms are spent already.
    I have a few more to bloom yet though. Daylillies will by around the
    middle of may. I gots tulips, forsythia and the azaleas area about to
    start. Don't know about eating the daffys though. I like to cut them and
    put them in vases 😉

    Over-brunched and feeling heavier than lead. How does my La-Z-Boy put up with
    me? If I'm able, I have every intention to try to make it out to the wicker
    chair on the porch for the rest of the day. And then what? I don't know! 🙂

    ravenlynne,

    I have a webcamview of Vesuvius in the background of Naples that I found
    when you said you were moving there.

    Sounded too exotic!

    I visit Naples every day! 🙂

    Day lilies last longer than that. I grabbed some that were growing wild at
    a friend's place and now they are growing wild at my place. I have
    transplanted a bunch of them on a slope at the edge of my property more for
    ground cover than anything else. They grow in so thick that nothing else
    penetrates them.

    Here in south-central Washington state, the crocus are barely up, but I
    expect the apple and cherry trees to flower soon. In the meantime, my
    condolences regarding your deer dinner guests ravaging the Hydrangeas.
    Will venison be on the menu shortly?
