I Got Lucky

In a check out impulse I bought a not very promising bag of bulbs at my garden center last fall. I set them up in the basement where they were very slow to show any activity, and very slow to throw up flower shoots when I finally brought them upstairs. I think my house is so cold that they didn’t get much hint that spring, even a false indoor spring, was approaching. But the wait was worth it. I have recently become enamored of pink daffodils, and just by chance, here they are. Lit by the sun I can almost believe spring will arrive outside.

  Beautiful. I could almost fool myself to believe that the picture is taken outside in the sun.

  Pat,

  Thanks for stopping by Garden Grit!

  Your pink daffodils are just lovely – perhaps next year I’ll try some in my garden.

  Great idea about the mulch – our city also offers free mulch from the green waste recycling, but you have to go pick it up.

  Darla – Don’t you love pink daffs?
  Petra – Our house has beautiful big south windows!
  Roses and stuff – Wait til you see MY roses!
  Sweet Bay – Last year we had a long cool (I mean cold) spring and the daff season was also gloriously long.
  Camellia – I live in hope. Like every gardener.
  Chloe – Lucky you! I wouldn’t mind picking it up if it were free.
  Thank you all for visiting.
