Daffies

As soon as Christmas is over I'm always itching for my vases to be filled with daffodils. They're such a cheap and cheerful flower and they always bring a smile to my face, especially at this time of year in the depths of winter.

I bought them in tight bud but just twenty four hours later they were starting to open up.

Another day later and they're nearly all open, but not quite.

Blooming in all their glory. They don't last long after this stage but I don't mind that. I love their scent too, though Mick really doesn't, I know lots of people have a difference of opinion where daffodil scent is concerned.

I can never resist getting my camera zoomed right in on flowers, just look at that colour. I'm a big fan of yellow.

It will be time for the tulips to take over from the daffodils in my vases very soon. I can't get enough of spring flowers.

  2. I love daffies. They are such a happy flower. Sometimes they smell lovely - other times they can be really awful! Sadly, there's no way of telling which it's going to be - or at least I don't know if there's a way!

  11. Lovely Jo & to think I was trying to find daffodils bulbs the other day to plant for this Spring. I love the smell of Earlicheer & some of the jonquils. I love seeing our local daffodil farm when in bloom with it's rows of different coloured ones. They are just planting up now so I think I should try & get some photos of what it looks like at the start of the year. Take care & hugs.

  16. They are a wonderful flower to brighten this time of year aren't they. We don't have any shoots for our daffs yet but I love it when they are all in flower in the garden.

  18. Their the first flower that blooms at home out in the yard, and sometimes I bring some in, but am always hesitant to cut them...they last longer outdoors and and I looking out at them. Maybe I don't cut them soon enough for them to last indoors? But, buying them ahead of time sounds like a good idea, before they start blooming outside. Never thought they had any fragrance. Will have to make a point to sniff more. Yellow to me is the happiest of all colors. LOVE your upclose shot...it's awesome.

  21. Yes! I’ve had my first vase this year and they were a delight to see. I was so excited I gave my Mum a bunch, and then my mother-in-law too.
    Looking forward to tulips too
