Today, the daffodils have ended their run. CG is very proud of the effort that the daffodils put forth this year. Almost 2 months of continual blooming. Now the focus is on making sure they are happy- as they multiply and build-up strength for next year's blooms. With the last of the daffodil blooms fading, here's a look back at this year's show...
28 FEB first to bloom:
Have about a dozen of these in the farm bed. The small tips of white at the end of the petals kept them from going in the solid yellow forsythia bed, but there are many other places where these can go.
Solid white:
The Mount Hood daffodils. Thought there were more of these. Need to get a good crop of this type started in the farm bed.
Survivor Sams:
These were some of the few remaining daffodils that were planted in the backyard in 2005 (dogs love soft dirt for digging). They were purchased in bulk from sam's club (dogs were very apologetic).
Not sure what kind:
...but they are nice, with 3 to 4 small blooms per stem. They are the single-type of daffodil that is planted in the cut flower bed. It's tempting to plant other varieties in the bed, but for the near future, they will remain the featured early bloom (hopefully more of them for next spring).
Hmm:
A unique daffodil. Believe it was the only bloom of its type. It's located in the back corner bed with other mixed varieties, so it's where it's supposed to be and doing a good job of being unique.
The Favorite:
There's about 3 to 4 small patches of these. Very pleased with their efforts.
Yellow-Yellow Double:
Maybe a Double Campernelle. Have one small patch of these in the front bed. Not too long lasting, they start to look 'wilty' after a short time.
More of the Favorite:
even after a heavy rain, these large, full blooms are able to remain upright
can't wait 'til next year!
