Is mine bigger than yours?

I had never thought that daffodils grew higher than the usual 12 inches or so, so I was amazed to find this fellow a few days ago. I measured it with my yard-stick and it was exactly 36 inches tall. Clearly it had been reaching for the light but is this unusual? I thought it best to post this before April 1st! :>)

We have one very similar near us, and it is also lonely, and is in amongst some shrubs, so it looks like it is reaching for the light as you suggested.

Nice one Ponty, my daffs on my raised bed are always taller, I always think its because they are growing under a very tall hedge, so I guess They are reaching for the light,,,,,,,,,

Thanks, all for your comments. Stickitoffee, Thomas was a doubter, too! :>)
I have no idea how this one strayed under the shrub but just for fun I shall plant a few more under it and see what comes up next year.

good idea P ~ i wonder how many other plants would grow to giant size if they started off hiding under shrubs ~ george must be hiding somewhere with his marvellous medicine!!

You could well be right Miss Brum but if you expect me to grow a leek the same size, don't hold your breath.:>)
