Ice Follies

Its a good variety ...

Yes, one of my faves. It changes color as it matures.

Beauties they reminded me of these Follies watching on tv films as a small child dancing all in lines ?

WOW! Very gorgeous!

Thank you Delonix1. Originally, I only planted 5 bulbs, but every year they mulitiply and look better and better every year. I can't have too many. lol They make good cut flowers if you caterize the stem tips with fire. They smell nice too.

Thrupennybi - That was a magnificent number - very dreamy. Now I will always think of those dancers when I see these daffodils, or the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall, lol.

? I shall check the Rockettes out thanks. Over here we had the Tiller girls in the UK one whom I knew well lived in our road when we were kids.

Isn't life funny that way - who can predict the outcome? I remember growing up playing 'Touch Football' with other kids in the neighborhood. If we played on grass, we could tackle, but not on asphalt or concrete. If all we could find was a muddy field, nobody cared. We can tackle in the mud because it didn't hurt though we all went home absolutely covered in it and could expect a good 'tongue lashing' from mom. It was worth all the fun we had. One of the kids we played with was drafted by the "Green Bay Packers." The Green Bay Packers has won more championships then any other American Football Team including 4 Super Bowls, and my friend is a big reason why. I'm still playing in the mud! Isn't life funny that way? I'll now go check out the Tiller Girls. Thanks!

Yes it is funny how life pans out and you playing as a child with one of the Green Bay Packers I bet your proud to of known him.

The second man from the left was the Tiller girl Jean s husband I called him uncle Bill and he called me glamour puss ? they wrote a book about him.

Yes a bit of mud never hurt any one a dirty child is a happy child I always say.

She must have been a special friend to you. You can always cherish those memories.

I was just a very small child at the time they were both middle age they were my mum and dads friends hence why we called them aunty and uncle.

Great Memories. They must have made quite an impression on you. Did you ever see her perform?

Yes they were very friendly Jean was very pretty. No I did nt sadly she performed in London and the only time we went to London 100 miles away from where we live was to visit my auntys.

Humm - I wonder if it's possible for you to reconnect with her with all the social networks in play today - Facebook?

Bathgate:

Thanks! I never thought about cauterizing the stem before putting them in water. I'll have to try it with some other flowers.

She died years back before her husband Bill who is also dead now so unless I have a medium I doubt it ?

Del - cauterizing prevents the sap from leaking out which would have an adverse effect on other flowers in the same vase - it also keeps the water cleaner in the vase.

That sounds logical. I've used wax on some flowers. Cauterizing sounds a lot easier.
