Look great in a pitcher.

Nice assortment!

I love that ruffled one!

Thanks. Re the ruffled one, I wish I would make a habit of saving the packing i.e. bag labels of daffodils I buy. I always think "oh, I'll remember that name" but I hardly ever do. In one corner of the orchard I try to plant a different variety every Fall. For borders I usually plant the bags of mixed bulbs.

I Googled double daffodils and found this name and a pic. It could be my ruffled one.

(didn't copy pic).

Double Daffodils Ice King

Heavily ruffled corona in creamy shades.

Thanks. My mom and I split two different large bags from costco in the fall and they are coming up beautifully this spring, I'm really glad i managed to get them in (several falls have gone by where i got nothing in). You have a great assortment.

Lowes used to have bags and bags of daff bulbs every Fall, large and small; but then I started to see many of the bulbs were dry and useless. I complained every time. Now I don't see that many in their store or at other big box stores.

For quite a few years now, I've been browsing and usually buying bulbs from a company that offers "Two for $5" boxes of many different varieties of Fall bulbs. You can find them in hardware stores - even grocery stores. I find these bulbs to be excellent growers and bloomers albeit you may not get too many per box. I found Puschkinia last year and they bloomed wonderfully this Spring. They are the light blue flower in the photo.

Love your pitcher of Daffs, sooooooo cottagy. Looks like spring has finally arrived in your neck of the woods :).
Myself, I'm giving the miniature Daffs a try, started putting a few in every fall so far so good. I use to have quite a few of the big guys but the darn Narcissus fly got them.

A lovely bouquet. My daffodils are rather spotty this spring. Keep reminding myself there are some late ones in the back beds. Perhaps I will add some frittillaries next fall.

Thanks mnwsgal. One note about the taller frittillaries, the scent is not so pleasant - smells like skunk cabbage; but I do like their uniqueness. These are called "Crown Imperials". I planted orange but got yellow, and every year they have multiplied.

Beautiful...we still have snow here.

Snow? yikes. Well it feels like it could snow here in Ohio. brrrr. Rainy, gloomy, chilly day today.

I never have luck with fritallarias. I think the stinky ones are called 'pusatillia' or some such thing. Beautiful daffs - I need to plant mine more thickly!!

Nancy.

The fritillaries in the first pic are called "Uva-Vulpis" according the label saved. I really like them but they can grow tall to appx. 1' and because the stems are so thin they may flop.

Re the daffodils: I had planted a new area with a bag of mixed daff bulbs last Fall and I am so delighted with the varieties that are blooming there. Singles, doubles, unusual color combos, etc. I plant the ole' shovel method, put the spade in, break the soil, shove a bulb in. To get that great thick border look, one almost has to take the time to completely dig a trench or area, take out the sod and soil, set the bulbs, then fill lit back in. Those days are over for me! lol Unless there is a really special variety that I want to showcase and I know will look better in a bunch.
