Spring has landed in New York- yaaaayyyyy!!! Those first Daffs among the snow are such a heartwarming sight. Can't wait to see those Lupines in bloom!

Susan, I thought the Hoary Puccoon was a Wallflower at first, what a bright gem! Is it easy to grow? I can tell you're a few weeks ahead of us there, but we had some days close to 80 that took out several early bloomers too. Your double one looks like 'Tahiti', which is blooming now here, and Muscari has just started. I just got back from a couple of days in Nashville, and was surprised to see spring is not as much ahead of us there this year as I've seen in years past. It's gotten cool again throughout the area now; I'm not altogether sad to see it, as it's making the blooms last a little longer.

As I understand it, Daffodil and Narcissus are synonymous, with Narcissus being the genus name for the whole group. In older books I've seen Daffodil used for trumpet types, and Narcissus for smaller cupped types, but that's no longer considered a reliable delineation.
