A Peruvian StPatrick's Day

It was a lesson learned by CG.

Planting Peruvian Daffodils in the middle of March is not a good idea. CG thought that as long as it didn't freeze, they would be ok. Then he read the back of the package and researched 'Peruvian daffodils' on the internet. Yeah, any time the average ground teperature drops under 60 degrees- it usually is deadly for them.

So, this was a very nice surprise for CG's eyes:

CG will bet his gardening reputation that this is a Peruvian daffodil pushing-up.

(no sign of the other 2 that were planted)

CG promises to take better care of them now. He will dig them, brush them off, cut-off the foilage, and store them (or it) in the laundry room -no later than mid September.

Next Spring, Peruvian daffodils will be planted on Cinqo de Mayo rather than StPatty's Day.
