In a Vase, on Monday – Daffs and Bees

Chris Mousseau

The yard is both dotted and swathed in various shades of yellow as daffodils and dandelions compete for attention – for totally different reasons – as they strive to make up for the late start to spring. Bees have unburrowed as well – I noticed many large bumblebee types buzzing around both Muscari and diving into the trumpets of these ‘Jetfire’ cyclamineus narcissus:

The other daffodil in today’s vase is ‘Ice Follies;’ they’re joined by a few Hyacinth which as well as adding colour adds its distinctive fragrance, infusing the house with the smell of spring.

The bee’s favourite Muscari are the M. latifolium:

Thanks to Cathy at Rambling in the Garden who hosts the weekly garden meme In A Vase On Monday, featuring flowers from our gardens. Happy Monday everyone!

  2. I truly love bumble bees, and that photo of the bee butt sticking out of the flower is perfect! I really like the ‘Ice Follies’ daffodil, too. It’s not only pretty, it makes me think of lemon meringue pie.

  4. Spring bulbs of any sort are great for vases, aren’t they? I am glad you are able to enjoy yours now that spring has arrived for you. Thanks for sharing your treasures today
