First Daffodil -- 2021

It's that time of year when I get so offer my Northern friends a ray of hope.  Winter will end.  It got down to 28ºF here last night.  And it's been a consistently cold winter.  But this daffodil has been in bloom about 3 days now. And you can see the lenten rose is blooming behind it.

It was actually a tie this year.  Two of the daffodils bloomed at the same time but I couldn't come up with a composition that worked with both.  There are dozens more, ready to pop.  It's one of the best things I ever did in my yard.  I've planted hundreds of daffodils all over the yard. I planted another hundred or so this Fall.  I look forward to sharing them with you.  And the generations to come.
