Daffodils!

I doubt if it breaks any records, but I was amazed to see a clump of Daffodils in flower when I walked up our track this morning. Anyone else's out yet?

 

No Daffs but I do have a pea in flower.

 

My Daffs are through....5" high....:runhills:

 

:( I haven't seen any in flower - yet, but they are selling them in the
co-op!! i wish they wouldn't i do prefer daffs in the springtime. Why do this before Christmas

 

Daffs sleeping over here. Will wake up in April.

Here is what to expect on my property.

No daffs up yet, but jonquils are up five inches!

 

Hiya Chris.

Maybe they know something we don't ? Seriously though, I do wonder what the implications are for next year? Will they flower again? I doubt it.

There's something about Daffs that I find very uplifting. I used to go for the more exotic kind, but I now much prefer the more simple forms.

Weird weather eh? BTW Redstar, nice vid

Cheers...Freddy.

 

Does anyone know please what the blue daisy like flowers are just over halfway through Redstar's video?

 

These ones Sheal?



I think they might be Anemone blanda

 

Spot on! Thanks Aesculus. I've got a weak spot for blue flowers.

 

My bulbs are starting to come up now too. Crocus and iris.2 or 3 years ago I noticed some daffs blooming before new years.......

 

Yep that is the one Sheal, Anemone. They are happy fellows, and split well after a few years when you think they are large. They also seem to pop some and make babies, well unless I've forgotten where I plant all of them. LOL. They are not to tall about 4 inces, I use them more in front of areas, or to soften corners.

 

Thanks Redstar, I want them for the same reason as you. Will they be okay in a sandy soil please?

 

That garden you see them in is about 20 years old. It has been worked all that time with good mulch etc, so much of the original clay soil is gone, it is not nice black soil. There are other areas they grow in, not worked as much, a mixture of top soil and clay. So as far as sandy soil, not sure, I don't have sandy soil here.
