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.

    Those pink daffs are lovely. They don’t seem to last very long in NC, but one can dream.. 🙂

    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.
