DAFFODILS

Narcissus more commonly called daffodils are one of the first signs of the coming of the long-awaited for SPRING.  Their bright yellow blooms are always a welcome from the cold winter days. 

This year my daffodils tried showing their glowing faces just a bit too early only get covered by a late two inch snow that caused them to lay their pretty yellow faces on the ground and hope for warmer weather.  I checked on them every day and began to think that maybe they were too scared to stand up again but they finally decided to open up in full bloom and show off in their own precious way. 

Not only are they absolutely beautiful in color but the sweet scent they put out fills any room with sunshine. 

I have a lot of daffodils scattered throughout my yard but mostly in the front which is open to the hungry deer.  They seem to be a plant that the deer do not enjoy, at least the ones in my neighborhood.  There are a few white ones mixed in with the yellows but I really enjoy the bright yellow ones and they do look great with my pink house in the background. 

The daffodils are usually the first flowers that I cut from my yard each spring.  They are especially pretty in cobalt blue glass.  I keep three or four vases filled with them in my house, take some to work,  and love giving them to friends and family.   

This is a picture of how my daffodils looked a few days after the snow melted and they were trying very hard to hold their heads up.
