Daffodils are up!

Snicks1 — Fri, 23 Feb 2018 20:46:49 GMT

Was just walking around the yard with my dog. Spotted daffodils just peeking up from the ground. It's early for them here, I think they will get frozen, it's only Feb. and in the midwest, we will still have more winter.

mine are up. I just have a few but they are always a welcome sign that spring is just around the corner. I'm in central Mississippi and we've been having temps in the low 80s this week. it's just a trick, though. it will be cold again before spring actually arrives

When plants and grass start growing again, is my favorite time of year. That typically doesn't happen here until late April.

@Snicks1 @MariotaMurielle @GCR18, wow those daffodils are looking good. It will be April here as well before we see growth. Hoping this last month of winter is good to us. LM

Only one of my large yellow and white ones bloomed again this year. It's in a shallow pot with a grassy-type plant called bunny ears.

But all my mini yellow ones are blooming.

I'd take a picture but my camera just died this morning.

I'm in California but I would not mind waiting longer until spring. We need a lot more rain plus colder weather. The cold inhibits the insect and snail populations.

They are so cheerful.

Last fall I wanted to dig the daffodil bulbs up and relocate them, but much as I dug, I could not find them! Now of course they are sprouting in places I don't want them,and overcrowded too. I uprooted quite a few and replanted them, they were 2-3" high. They are not dead but not growing either, just sitting there. Anyone know if they might finally grow and bloom?

They probably will. Experiment & see. Replant at the level they were originally in the soil.

My daffodils peak through in December every year and every year I say I am going to put more soil in my flower beds so they won’t the following December, but of course I don’t. Apparently it doesn’t hurt them since they always bloom well come spring. They are up a good 2-3 inches already and I know there is much more cold weather coming here in the Great Lakes. My crocus started blooming last week.

I love them, but mine just sometimes don't bloom.

Time to divide & separate the bulbs.

@Snicks1 Love Daffodils. I actually love all spring flowers. It was in the low 60's today in Chicago area. Winter was short but at least we had one. It seems like it will be staying in the 40's or low 50's until spring time. Not too far away now. Happy Spring, everyone.
