Daffodil Journal

We're having some unseasonably warm weather in Alabama. It's hot, humid, and sunny. The temps are currently in the mid-70s, but because it was humid, I was sweating while gardening this morning. It has me a little worried about the daffodils. They're exploding into bloom very fast, and some of them do not have long stems yet. 

This week the following are flowering:

'Abba'
'Sweetness'
'Gigantic Star'
'Grand Primo'
N. jonquilla var. henriquesii
Unknown N. jonquilla
'King Alfred' type
'Twinkling Yellow'

'Stella' has already finished blooming
Crocus tommasinianus is also about done flowering.

Opening today or tomorrow are:

'Odoratus'
'Cragford'
'Trevithian'

I'm trying to take a lot of photos. Here's one of N. jonquilla var. henriquesii:

  1. Geez! Yours are already blooming? Mine are just poking through. After a very farm Fall we had a long and deeply cold Winter. Much of what has survived in past years Fall sowing didn't make it.

    1. That's sad to hear. Well, with it going to be in the 80s and humid this week, I'm kind of jealous of your cold. I'm afraid the spring bulbs will come and go in a few days. Maybe not.
