hibernation



(CG Jr was 'all talk' about being brave enough to hold the bulb)

 The Peruvian daffodils are wintering-over quite nicely. They are 'hibernating' in a paper bag in the cool (but not too cold) laundry room closet. They were dug-up in mid October, had the green foliage snipped off, then rinsed and dried. After dividing-off a few baby bulbs, there should be a half dozen Peruvians ready for planting towards the end of April.

(this post is more of a reminder for CG not to forget about these hard-working bulbs!)
