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. )

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. )

Margaret,

You're welcome!

Hugs and Kisses,

Andy
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!

Wish I had one of those...I have a lovely 3rd floor balcony with a view
of the surrounding mountains, including vesuvius!

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!

Guess you have plenty of daffodils?!?

Hugs and Kisses from a BUM!!! in Philadelphia, PA,

The blossoms here are still around, so I don't think the deer like them much
either.

Daffodils and Day Lilies. Day lilies are only a day or two of blooms.
What's the point, almost!?

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?

Karl,

I can't bring myself to kill them. It's just too much meat to comprehend!

We used to have a whole area of daylilies growing wild. We never saw a
bloom - the deer used to come out at night and eat all the buds which
would have bloomed the next day. It went on so long that one day DH
said "Dammit" and mowed all the lilies down. Take that, Bambi. Boy,
they're a thrill to watch but a menace in the garden.
