Here is another small garden in the shade out front. Just to the left of this bed and inset in this bed is a patio I am currently working on. It's a big job and I've been so tied up with dividing daffodils and plants like hostas and daylilies as well as installing my almost 200 foot long fence that I have not been able to get to this patio. I hate having unfinished projects but sometimes I have to pace myself.

And finally, one more lovely little daffodil....

I would've posted more pictures but I finally ran out of Picasa photo space so I have had to begin uploading pictures to Flickr, a whole new ballgame for me. I'm quitting while I am ahead today before something really goes wrong. We'll see how I do in the future.
Any daffodils in your garden this spring?

Holy Toledo! I want to swim in that river. So, beautiful...and I love that winding road outside of your garden....thanks for the plant ID....johnny on the spot this morning aren't you?
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm inspressed with your river and mountains of daffodils. I've planted some but this famous "Naturalizing" process seems to elude my efforts to get them to spread.
ReplyDeleteGood morning all! A wonderful day in the US indeed.
ReplyDeleteDarla, Yup, I'm up waaay too early this morning. I always appreciate it when folks tell me little things about what they like with the pictures. Never would've thought someone would like this road but now that I look at it, it's not so bad. Just busy and noisy. Swimming soon!
Troutbirder, Not all daffodils naturalize easily. I like the older varieties for it and especially love 'Ice Follies' and 'Tete a tete'. Not sure if you've tried them but if not you might have some luck.
I do have daffodils. They are the happiest little flower. However, I don't have nearly as many as you do. Hopefully, in a few years I will! Carla
ReplyDeleteGreat posting and great collection of daffodils!! I especially like the long shot photo of the pond in the background. Oh, and the Tete-a-tete with the King Alfred, looks like a child with a parent. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful! I've never divided any of my daffodils, but seeing all of these, I realize I ought to get busy this year, Tina. I did notice a few buds on my daffodils yesterday, so it won't be long now.
ReplyDeleteTina, you have encouraged me to Divide and Conquer! I love daffys as they say spring and bring me out of my winter funk each year! If I had as many as you, I would be smiling for a long time girl. When is the best time to divide the bulbs?
ReplyDeleteCalling for 87 degrees tomorrow and I WILL be on the lake!!!
I have daffodils, but nothing like this! Wow Tina--your blooms are breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteCarla, It does not take long to make a ton of daffys and they are so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteJanet, At first I thought I might move the the tete a tetes up and have the taller ones in the background but you know, those tete a tetes make a fabulous groundcover under the taller daffys so they are staying. That pond is a real treat. Our backyard deck view and we spend a lot of time there. Wish it was my pond.
Rose, It is so rewarding to divide daffodils and they just continue to give. I have had to rotate where I divide here as it gets overwhelming but once you start-you just want to do more.
Skeeter, Divide and conquer indeed gal! It's so easy. I think the best time to divide daffodils is whenever you have the time. That being said I've done it prior to bloom (no ill effects and it still blooms), during bloom (you will lose the blooms), and after bloom (no ill effect). So really it is up to you but if you wish to enjoy blooms divide them before or after bloom depending on you. Sometimes it's best to wait and check the color or variety but it all depends. Just give them all a pinch of bulb fertilizer or bone meal (not where dogs are though).
Linda, Thanks so much! These bulbs are the bulbs that keep on giving and so easy to make more. That is what I have done and I find yearly it just gets bigger and bigger. Soon the whole yard might be covered-not my desire though. lol
ReplyDeleteMan I need more daffodils especially the 'Tete a Tetes." I have just a few from a mixed bag of bulbs. I bet people love driving along that road and seeing all those daffodils. Just beautiful. You have been very dilegent about dividing and spreading them around. It's paid off.
ReplyDeleteYou're giving me daffodil envy ~ the more daffodils, the more beautiful they are, and you have wonderful displays of them. You have a beautiful view out onto your neighbor's pasture too.
ReplyDeleteGOSS, Thanks! Tete a tetes are wonderful and go anywhere. Yes, I think every one who drives by notices at one time or another. I've had some folks actually stop by and others don't comment unless we meet sometime. Recently that happened with a neighbor. He raked two truckfuls of pine needles and I went and asked him what he was going to do with them. He looked at me and said do you want them for your garden? I'll bring them over and you have nice gardens. I never knew this before as folks around here are not all that sociable or I might say this is not the kind of area where neighbors talk over the fence and walk around and socialize. I am always happy to hear folks appreciate the gardens and flowers. One more thing, check for tete a tetes on sale and markdown at the end of the season.
ReplyDeleteJestes miłośnikiem żonkili, widać to po ilości kwitnących kwiatów. To piękne kwiaty i nie dziwię Ci się ilościa, jeśli masz na to miejsce. Pozdrawiam
ReplyDeleteHi Giga, Yes, I do indeed love daffodils-running out of room soon though as you can see but such is life.
ReplyDeleteHurray for daffodils! Mine are at least up a couple of inches, but we're a ways from blooms yet. Happily, other dedicated plants are doing their bloomin' thing, indoors and out. Spring is really coming.
ReplyDeleteI love daffys and your yard is just stunning for sure!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that river of Daffs, so pretty. You got an impressive amount of these spring bloomers. :)
ReplyDeleteThink you break the record for the most daffodils.
ReplyDeleteLove the mass planting,edging and scattered plantings.
Still waiting for my few to show up.
Tina, That's a beautiful river of daffs! Idneed to divide and feed mine they've gotten crowded and stopped making buds~It's time. I might make a river like yours! gail
ReplyDeleteThese daffodils make me feel so good in this time of hardship. I'd think flowers are a big present from God. I love the hillside where lots of doffodils are in bloom. Really lovely! Thank you, tina for this soothing post.
ReplyDeleteAmazing display! Looks fabulous--everywhere, from all angles!
ReplyDeleteWow! So many daffodils. Mine are teeny tiny clumps and I won't let anyone pick them because then there would be none left outside. You could pick bouquets of them. I love seeing the longshots of your garden. Such a pretty setting with the cow pastures and pond in the background.
ReplyDeleteA really pretty selection of daffodils in your garden and some lovely photos too.
ReplyDeleteHi Tina, you asked about the Sweetshrub ~ yes that's Calycanthus florida.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how close Sunlight Gardens is to you, but they're an excellent mail order company and I've been very pleased with the azaleas that I've received from them.
Hello all.
ReplyDeleteTina I love your Daffy's. Mine have bloomed already even the ones you sent me. Thanks a million. I love those yellow ones with the orange/red cup. What is it's name? I too love the pic with the pond in background.
I use to look for Daffy's along the road side when traveling up home yrs ago. Always a pleasure to see them.
Planting veggies {root type} tomorrow. Busy, busy, busy.
I can't imagine gardening without daffodils, and yours are lovely.
ReplyDeleteNo Daffodils here :( Because they might not grow here (not sure) and because we don't get it here :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a river of daffodils you have there!!!!! Tiger Gardens must look lovely this time of the year! Great, Tina!
You have literally 'tons and tons' of daffodils;-) My favorite shot is with the beautiful farmland in the background...wow, that's gorgeous scenery! I need more varieties of narcissus to add to my very limited collection! In the fall I'm planning to add some. Happy Spring!
