Rob, loved seeing your Daffodils.. You're a little ahead of me.. my doubles aren't open yet.

I've got a bunch of pictures on my camera, but can't pair it to my new laptop. I was downloading the pictures on my old computer, sucking them into my external drive, then transferring them over.. Now they won't download on my old computer. Feeling disheartened.. I hate dealing with technical stuff.. Angry

Here are a couple of my signs of Spring. Erlicheer Daffodil is one of my all time favorite blooms. It make these perfect bouquets in the ground and then the flowers are themselves perfect shapes.

Lovely spring flower pictures Elsa. I can smell the hyacinths from here! Green Grin!

My tulips are coming up and the irises are officially awake! They are sending up bright green little increases Hurray! Sadly, snow predicted tomorrow, but should just be a rain/snow mix, nothing crazy. Come on Spring you can do it! I think I need to get on the fertilizing asap, particularly the dwarf irises.

Liz: I love rhe way Hyacynths smell too. I think. Next to irises that smell like Irises, it is my favorite.. My Hyacynths got hit with a good snow one year while in bloom and it didn't seem to even phase them so I hope yours do good.

Rob: You plant those Dafs in late Fall so I would be glad to send some your way if you would like. I need to divide anyway. And if I can throw in some replacements or just some other Irises that might make you forget a bit about the losses, I would be glad to. My list is populated with what I have. Now not all mine have increased but I can usually provide about 1/2 someone's list.

Liz: Just caught the part about the dwarfs. I fertilized most my Dwarfs 2 weeks ago (between bouts of flu) but they just don't show any interest in waking up. I could swear I usually have blooms by the second week in March but they are going to have to go into warp speed for that to happen. Sounds like yours are a bit happier😀

Sounds good Rob. I have one other person who will get 1st dubs at the Burseens ( bet you can guess who:)) but some of mine are big enough to get two off of. Send me a wishlist in treemail for Irises. I marked on my phone to send you The Daf already.

Liz: Do you want some Daffodil bulbs?

If no one else wants any, I would be happy to get them. Our daffs are not blooming yet, except for one in the ground and a group in a pot that got hit by the hard frost. Smiling
