First Daffodil 2011

For CG, it's a special moment that happens once a year.
It's a compressed moment that represents all of the planning and work from the previous year.
The daffodil blooms may progressively continue for the next six weeks.
When compared to last year, there will be more of them, too.
There will be nice surprises from new varieties.
Large blooms nearing 6" across, intricate doubles, majestic solid whites, and bold orange colors.
However spectacular, these cannot compare to the smallish, pale yellow that managed to become -first.
