Terri, I love that arbor!

Jack, I forgot to answer your question about Mrs Langtry. You're right, Old House Gardens. Such a graceful presence in the garden, and contrasts among other daffodils.

Thanks for the daff. additions to the db. Neal.

Oh wow!
Spring is springing

Annette, what I wouldn't give for some kitchen steps like that!! Outstanding

Neal--love it--for a second I thought about stowing away on an eastbound train

I found a few pics from last year of Pueblo, the jonquilla I mentioned,
starts yellow, turns white

love it, but I failed to get any decent pictures, here though you can see multiple stages


Terri, daffs will make best use of fertilizer in spring--when their leaves and roots are busy gathering everything to grow next year's flower inside the bulb...I just use compost...and yes, shade will always be a limiting factor. If the shade is dense before the trees even leaf out in the spring it is probably too shady for daffs to be blooming machines
Ipheion is one of my very favorites--it prefers sun of course, but will do alright in part shade
What about hepatica, have you tried any of those?

Neal, you have a stunning daffodil show going on right now, keep posting those gorgeous pics.

@jmorth, pictures are also beautiful, such amazing, vibrant colors in your blooms.

Terri, it's nice that you have memories of your dad when you see Ice Follies blooming. It was one of the 1st daffs I ever planted, and comes back reliably every year.

I use Bulb Food for fertilizer in the fall, then again in the spring after my bulbs are done blooming. I also use a lot of Black Kow in my beds, and I'm sure the bulbs get fertilized by this as well.

Thanks dirt, I'm also loving how well the bulbs in pots and other plants around the kitchen steps are doing. It's a happy occurrence that the Pink Mix tulips happened to match the camellias so well this year.

Miniature Daffodils

Muscari

Gorgeous weather has bulbs blooming in overdrive.

Amaryllis season is here in the Southeast and I have my best display of them ever!

Very nice, certainly a different focus than from up here.

Neal what is that glorious clump of pink daffs, right lower of your last photo? Yum! And are those cannas coming up? I'm taking in the heuchera too.

Beautiful blooms j, Neal and Larry!

j, I wish my clumps of muscari looked that good!

Neal I love the way you have artistically put together your clumps of bulbs, just gorgeous!

Larry, the clusters of amaryllis are so striking! Which plant is that?

Neal I just love how lush your long-view shots with rolling green hills and stacks of wood look----seriously, it calls to me--I just wanna head right over, run around and bask it all in, help you do whatever all you need done (sneak you a something purple by the house surprise ), and then eat and drink and be merry by the fire omg, it's probably a good thing I cannot just do whatever I feel like when I see eye candy

some purple crocies then



and believe it or not, it is amaryllis season up here in the north too!

of course, they are indoors, but it is still spring for them with the longer daylight thru the windows
I've got three more with blooms just about to open...

I thought I'd share some photos of some daffodils I inherited when I bought this house. I haven't tried to identify them, yet.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

Kabby, those are Pink Charm daffodils. The most vigorous pink I've grown.

Thanks Dirt! Sounds like we're birds of a feather!

Thanks Annette!

Larry, those amaryllis clumps look amazing!

Lyn, nice daffodils! I recognize Ice Follies, possibly Dutch Master and Spellbinder, Pink Charm, possibly Fortissimo, and not sure about the last one, but it looks like a jonquilla hybrid.

Cem9165,
The only name I have for my Amaryllis is "South Alabama passalong" variety. I do have other plants that don't look much like those shown blooming, but they also share the same name.

Thank you Neal for the possible identifications of Mrs. J's daffodils. I do like knowing the names of the plants I am growing. I have identified all but two of the roses that came with the house and it simply bugs me that I don't know their names ...

I am still learning how to use my newer camera. Every once in a while I grab my old camera so that I don't miss the whole bloom season, but I try not to do that. I just don't take enough time to take any photos, so I don't get in enough practice time.

Here are some photos of a species tulip that came up last year after I moved some rocks. I don't know if it is 'Eastern Star' or 'Persian Pearl'. I think it is 'Persian Pearl' because of the broader petals. It only opens in full sunlight. I think the clump needs to be divided and moved to another spot so that it can get more sun. Where it is currently sited, it only gets mid-day sunlight.

Sweet combo Lyn! I can't tell those humilus types apart, all of those magenta forms are so close. I love species tulips, it's wonderful they have perennialized in your zone!

After looking at the photos of the Amaryllis again, I changed my mind! Sorry!! 😁
