Some nice daffs.Thalia is one of my favourite garden varieties.February gold is always March down here

You have to smile when you see them don't you, obviously ours are long gone down here so its nice to share yours S'gran..

You've got such a variety :) The Little Witch is pretty isn't it ...

Pretty collection, I do like the pinky ones. All mine are finished now, and the potted ones are now re-planted in the garden.

What a lovely collection Scotsgran.

I have to confess I love my daffs and narcissus. I attended a joint meeting of our Edinburgh SRGC branch and the Caley(RCHS). The Caley members were discussing heritage daffs. It set me wondering about my own daffs. I had not considered researching their family trees until then. Once started I got hooked. As we travelled about visiting family and friends it was inevitable that I found varieties I had never heard of before. As the season wore on and the prices dropped I was lucky and managed to buy some of the ones above. I thought if I planted them in pots I could enter some of the SRGC shows nearest to where we live. All have been grown in pots outside and subjected to all the harsh winter conditions so I am very pleased with them. Finding places to plant them in the garden is going to be hard.

What a lovely collection you have there Scotsgran and still flowering !

I had my first narcissus flowers at the beginning of March Rose and there has been some in flower every day since then. The anticipation, as soon as the bulbs start showing signs of growth until they finally die down and I hope I have cared for them enough to ensure another show the following year, is a great feeling.

I'm sure you will have Scotsgran ! They are a credit to you!

LOL Rose the credit for this seasons flowers is down to the care provided by the bulb growers last year. I am reaping the benefit of their care. I am feeding half strength tomato food to try and get good flowers next spring.
