I don't have any small ones myself currently. But I did already order BABY BOOMER from Brent&Beckies which is a cutie somewhat like yours.

I love my Gazelle too, but it is tall with a nice bent neck. Do you think it is the same one? I will post pictures of mine later tonight. On wrong computer. Patti

I can't believe I still have daffodils blooming. My daffs started blooming February 9th with the EARLY SENSATIONS and daffs have been blooming here ever since. The Merlins in the front and the Copper Queens in the back yard are the last to bloom.

Here is one of the last of the MERLIN daffs this year. But honestly since my daffodil blooms started Feb 9th, I have had over 3 months of daffs blooming here. An all time record!

Your shot of N Merlin is lovely.

We have many still in bloom, which is normal for us. But they won't last as long as they often do if we get a cool spring. I took these shots yesterday, not labelled yet but will give you a stroll through our garden and see many Narcissus and some tulips still blooming. Patti

My first was around Feb 18th so we are a little more than a week behind you. Pleased to have so many still blooming, but what will be left on June 21st when the Garden Conservancy Open Garden Tour is taking place at my house? Worried. Plastic flowers? Patti

Patti -- hope you had great weather for that garden tour! I'm sure your gardens were spectacular, wish I could have been there... Is there a thread or blog somewhere with photos? (because I can't ever see too many photos of your garden -- love it!)

Thanks critterologist, yes we survived the more than 265 paying guest on June 21st, but left the next day for a weeding in New Orleans. Just back today, so I will post some shots I took that morning before the herd of people arrived as soon as I can. So many keen gardeners with so many questions. It was fun, but exhausting. We got wonderful feed back, so I know people loved the garden. Now to catch up on the weeds that have appeared in our absence along with a zillion stunning lilies. Wish more had been out for the tour. Patti

That's quite a crowd! Congratulations Hurray!

If there's a thread where you're posting summer photos of lilies, etc., please share a link here also!

Did you really go all the way to New Orleans to pull weeds?? Blinking

Welcome, doglover!

I'm hoping to do a lot of digging & dividing this year, but I haven't heard anything about a swap (yet)... I'm going to try to have a "daffodil dig" day and recruit a couple local gardeners I know who are willing to "dig for daffs." So I think I'll be giving away a lot of my extras to them.

I was thinking about doing a "group buy" thing (probably with ADR), but it won't be this year (blew my budget, plus really should divide what's already out there rather than planting more this year)... hopefully next fall. Smiling

Yeah I'm thinking I should have cut some stems from 'Rjenveld's Early Sensation', as they were not only up but also had fat buds before this cold snap... not sure if they've frozen now or not... Last year, though, they were pretty tough!
