Monday Morning Blooms: Daffodils (14MARCH2022)

Posted on by Prior...

Happy Monday readers

Today I am sharing some daffodil images. 

This first image is from the bulbs we put in MANY years ago.
This little cluster came up from a more recent bulb planting (2020)
Like a choir, singing

    1. Thanks Norah / the daffodil is the first to bloom where I live and so I think I really appreciate them for that most of all! Sometimes bringing beauty as early as January !

  8. I love these images, Yvette. One of my favourite places is the Lake District in spring, when the daffodils are magnificent and it is easy to see why they inspired Wordsworth 😊

    1. Hi Clive, that Lake District sounds like a great place to visit in the spring.
      and in my area = daffodils come up in February – are they that early for your area as well?

      1. It’s lovely any time of year, such beautiful scenery. The daffs come through a bit later up there, March going into April depending on how harsh the winter has been. We spent several holidays up there around Easter, and were never disappointed.

  9. Those are so cheerful, and I love the poem!

    #1 Grandson picked some for me last week from his Mom’s garden and I tried to draw them so I’d have them always.
    My heart still sings just thinking about the sweet bouquet and tender heart that gave them to me.

    Thank you for bringing these feeling back up to the surface of my heart. 😍

    1. Thank you for joining me with the same of flowers.

      I am not sure how I started the Monday Morning Blooms theme but it helps me start the week wit a floral lift.

      and by the way, I have checked out some of your recent drawings (but want logged in to comment) and will be over soon to chime in – but I have not seen any flowers – just the landscapes and cool barn

      1. I haven’t shared any flowers that I painted on the blog. I may share my daffodil page on Instagram soon though.
        I like your Monday flower theme it does set up the week for cheerfulness. 😀

    1. Hi – these daffodils are all from this year – they come up early in Virginia and are actually a winter flower here (we are zone 7) but cheers to spring which is very close

  18. I love Daffodils Yvette – they are so hardy and you know that Spring has arrived when you see those vibrant bobbing heads. The long-time neighbors across the street are long gone and the house has been sold shortly after their passing. The original person who bought it in 2010 decided to rent it out, but not before he got a rototiller and churned up Mrs. Elmore’s prized Tulips and Daffodils that had been coming up for decades, just like clockwork. But his heavyhanded rototiller missed a spot by the front steps and every year, a clump of two, sometimes three, Daffodils rise and shine. I like the Wordsworth quote.

    1. I wonder why they took them all up?
      And glad they missed a patch to bring a splash of spring beauty there!
      And I like how you noted their “bobbing heads”
      And earlier tonight I caught some daffodils with raindrops and they had “bobbing heads”!!

      1. I never understood that Yvette and she was so proud of her tulips and daffodils. The tulips were in a garden at the side of her house, under her kitchen window. She was in the kitchen, saw movement in the garden and looked out and was horrified to see a young girl had picked every tulip and had made a huge bouquet. She ran out and chased her off the property – kid dropped all the tulips. She called my mom almost hysterical about them. Those daffodil leaves in the corner are up already. Funny you saw the “bobbing heads” too!

        1. Well it reminds me that new homeowners do not always want what the former homeowner plants!
          And at our Denver house I had someone cut off the last bunch of tulips trust came up out front – we actually think it was the former homeowners son – he might have brought them to her for memories

        2. That’s a nice story Yvette. My father planted tulips the first year we moved here and in doing Spring clean-up, he found all the tulip bulbs planted the previous Fall scattered around the yard, with only one “survivor” and it came up, this solo tulip, for years afterward under a Locust tree. When the tree was cut down and the stump dug out, the tulip bulb finally succumbed too.

    1. Hi – the only bulbs that survive in the ground here are daffodils – and I read that they can be toxic and so that is why most critters avoid them- I wonder what critters are yours – or perhaps the bulbs didn’t make it for other reasons??

    1. Hi Tierney. That flower comic brings me a smile too! “Julia?”😂
      And the daffodils are everywhere around where I live and think they reached their mass peak

  21. Daffodils are brave little things. The first to emerge braving winter.
    All the better when you planted them. We planted tulip bulbs last year, they’re coming out but are getting some kind of disease. Scorching the leaves. Hmmm.

    1. Oh sorry about the tulips – i have no idea about what kind of things attack tulips but we lost all of our bulbs the first time we went into the ground (eaten, I think) and so didn’t grow them for a while – but now decided To
      Try them in containers- so far so good!
      //
      And one idea for the plagued tulips might be to spray them with soapy water? I know this works for roses for some things and it can’t hurt? Hmmmm? Even if just spray the leaves and stem?

    1. I like how you worded that!
      And I have to admit that I still get excited to see the first signs of daffodils coming up – it is usually in January where we are (zone 7b) and seeing them emerge brings thoughts of change coming and helps me enjoy the bow of winter

      1. Your comment made my day! Thank you.
        Seeing daffodils in a row is a pretty sight. They look like vintage lamps. lol
        Have a wonderful start to a new week. 🙂
