Daffodils! Don't you love them?!

My Daffs are blooming! How about yours?
This is a bouquet of my so called "pink" Daffodils.
They look peach to me.
Does anybody grow any true pink Daffs?
Post your Daffodil pics.

More cheerfulness

Delightful duo

Here are mine. Plain old yellow ones. King Alfred I think.

Im buying some pinks from bloomingbulbs. Pink Charm, Saloame and Passionale.

Love the pinks and solid whites!!!

Thank you for starting this thread!
I planted daffodils around the base of a birch tree several years ago, and for the past few years they haven't put on flowers.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?

how deep did you plant them?

Are they crowed?? May they need to be seperated.... Maybe did you mow them over before the green was died back??? Thats what I did before I knew anything about the storing of energy...Just some suggestions... I had a clump do that also. This year they do have a few flowers and they are no where that I mow at all... Sometimes its just a fluk? Ronna

I have daffs around my birch and the grow very well they get good morning light and a little early afternoon

Yes I do love daffodills, mine bloomed and then just fell over so had to cut them and bring them in house

I hate that I have some that are doubels and very full and every year I say I'm going to fix something and every year I DON'T I still love them
Gloria

Well, some seem crowded. Is it possible to seperate them at this time of year, or would it be better to do it another time. If so, when is the best time to seperate daffodils?
Thanks for the help.

id say in the fall!!! let the greens die back!

Thank you, notmartha. I was so tempted to go out with my spade this morning. I was also thinking maybe I would raise them up a little, so they might bloom this year after all.
I'll be patient with the daffodils, but I can move my lilly-of-the-valley and hosta now, right? (They are crowded, and aren't up too far yet.)

yes

Here are a few of mine....

And some more.... Now I have a question. Has any one ever gone and dug up daffys that are growing in the middle of nowhere???? They are the most beautiful bright yellow one I think the are repletes? Dont know but I would love to have them in my yard!!! Would it be wrong to do that??? Just wondering what others thought???? Back in some woods kinda by us. Ronna

you should always have a shovel in your trunk!!!! :)
I saw a bunch in the ditch the other day!
GO FOR IT!!!!

Gloria

I think I will!!!!

Okay here is my free daffys!!!! I had a full bucket and had to leave some there is a huge storm coming... I wanted to get them in the ground asap!! I can hear the thunder coming from a distance.... Only I would be out there planting in the middle of a storm!!! Well hasnt started raing yet. But soon I hope. Im so excited about the daffys... Really fun getting something for FREE.

The Most Beautiful Pink daffodil with "ruffles" sitting right in the middle of those yellow daffs.!!
Where did you get that ONE from????
Jaz ^_^

Another great place to get daffodils is Buggy Crazy. She has all sorts of great Daffs and ships earlier than most, giving you a head start with planting. Bought a ton of different ones last summer and have the pretties blooming right now. What a great way to announce spring.

Edited to add that they look sold out now but it looks like May or June they should be up again for ordering. It is her way of "turning the catalog off" but letting you view what will be available during ordering time ^_^

Hey Julie, put your glasses on... that is Loon's pic. ;o)

Mag thanks for that link.
I've heard others mention that vendor.
Will check them out.

HEY! How soon after blooming can I transplant my Daffs?
If I wait til fall I always forget.

Not sure but i think your to wait till the green foliage dies back

snort-glasses on!!! snort

Ive bought from bugcrazy-great bulbs, i posted pics once with them-got some the size of a softball!!!!

Buggy Crazy ships her daffs in July, and based on how well they did for me, I would think july or August would be fine.

You're quite welcome Cottage Rose. I always want to share my most best-est ever vendor favorites.

OK Vickie ...I guess I had You on my brain!
She (flower that she is) is a Loon relation! So sorry Loon to give credit for a little beauty like that to Cottage!!
How silly of me!!
Hey I checked Bugcrazy ..Some NICE bulbs if somewhat PRICEY. I guess I am just to used gettin' the CO-OP prices! She does have some I may have to look at when she is up and running!!
Thanks for the site. Always interested in purveyors of beautiful flowering "stuff".
Julie
