Posie Gets Cozy: First, daffodils.

March 31, 2009

First, daffodils.

'Bridal Crown' and 'Barrett Browning', planted for me by Andy last fall. I love them.

I thought I'd gotten pink daffodils, but it must have been pink tulips, which will come later. Right now we just have pink plum petals.

What happy little daffodils. Happy spring!

Beautiful garden. I'd love to sit in your yard with a cup of Earl Grey and read my book (which I stole off your reading list: "Behind the Scenes at the Museum"...great recommendation!). I'm saving the daffodils to my desktop here at work so I have a glimpse of spring all day. It's still very grey and rainy here in Bellingham, WA. Thanks for the sneek peek of lovliness!

Wow - and I thought my daffodils were pretty. I really like the two colours in these.

I am so jelous. Spring certainly has not sprung here in Chicago.

I love them all in that perfect little curve, in that third photo. Little heads nodding. I love daffodils!

The photos of your daffodils made me smile... how beautiful. Andy did a wonderful job. :)

can't believe you're only just getting daffs now, here they're all on the way out!

Though this fact does make me jealous as they're very pretty, almost as much as the baby daffs that are just the most perfect size ever!

Don't they just make you feel more cheerful?

Posted by: jen | March 31, 2009 at 09:24 AM

Gorgeous. Jealous of you lovely flowers. :)

pretty flowers.
it's depressing here all the snow.

Jea-lous! No daffy-down-dillies here yet, but our neighbors' forsythia are in bloom. Generally you P-town people are a couple weeks ahead of us in terms of what's in bloom, so your photos give me hope :)

Dear Alicia, I am a known flower picker. Today I stopped at my secret stash location, a lot next to a farmer'f field where a house burned down. I came home with armfuls of yellow happiness. Last year my car got stuck in the field. When I called AAA and they asked if I was in a safe location, I replied, "Yes, if you don't count a suspicious looking heffer." Their reply, "Uh, Mam. AAA only covers roadside assistance, not a farmer's field!" My husband warns me every single Spring about my flower picking habit, but what can I say? A girl's got to have flowers! Elizabeth

I just love all the wide variety in which you can get daffs!! Makes me want a few new varieties in my collection!

So beautiful, and even more special that your husband planted them for you! Your photos are so vivid...I can almost smell the springtime coming though we're in another winter storm her in Minnesota!

What a lovely blog you have. Living in Portland I am ever discovering the amazing talent that seems to spring from here. Your writing is so adept and insightful, sharing the personal and conveying the communal experience with your readers. Such a delight.

I love all the daffodils and hyacinth that are showing off their blooms around town. We are about at the end of our Daphne bloom, what heavenly scent.

We still have snow in our yard although not much . . lovely to see such springy beauty.

Posted by: Donna | March 31, 2009 at 12:09 PM
