I’m joining Cathy and other gardeners at Rambling in the Garden this week, sort of, in presenting cut flowers (or branches or grasses or seedheads) from their garden. ‘Sort of’ because although I intended to snip a few stems from this purchased pot of mini daffodils (likely ‘Tête-à-Tête;’ it’s a tad annoying that growers can’t be bothered to provide the real name, botanical or otherwise, on their tags…), in the end I didn’t want to disturb the beautiful, natural arrangement that the forced bulbs themselves presented. I’ll keep these indoors for another month, fertilizing as I water, and then plant outside where they’ll provide many years of bloom. The glazed clay pot that the daffs are in was made in Germany in the last century…I remember quite clearly purchasing it, and two other very similar pots, when I was in high school. By rights I should have added a bunch of moss or something to hide the bare soil…oh well! Have a great week everyone!
Oh, the bare soil is not even noticeable from this perspective.
Excellent!
Enjoy your oh, so pretty Daffodowndillies (poem by A. A. Milne)
LOL – ‘Winter is dead ‘ indeed!
Bare soil is good. 🙂 And they are lovely, especially in your special pot. Those Tete-a-tetes are fun and reliable. I have a couple of groupings of them, too. Enjoy!
Thanks Beth!
Spring is on its way!
😊😊😊
I adore mini daffs and planted some in my current garden. They are not ready yet, but as we warm again this week I should see their cheery faces. Can you believe we had some snow today and 33 degrees tomorrow with snow again.
I CAN believe that Donna! We’re supposed to get a bit of snow too!!!
That first photo is gorgeous. The second made me curious. You say these are mini-daffs, but they look quite tall. I’d expect minis to be maybe 4″-6″, but these look like they could be a foot tall. Curious minds want to know!
Cheerful spring flowers on the windowsill – what more could one ask for! Have a great week Chris!
