Daffodils are popular almost around the world. Strong bulbs returning every year, may be with some exceptions for more particular ones. Many species and many hybrids. I am sure you have a lot of named ones to show and they are on their start here. Buds are sign of spring, of birth of beautiful flowers which are going to enlighten our life after the winter. C.

Here is an old variety called D. 'Rip Van Winkle'. It is so tiny. I wait every spring to see this one. How funny, I just realized the each petal is tipped in white. Click here for Sedum, Sempervivum, Jovibarba and heuffelii [Last edited Mar 12, 2011 8:21 AM CST] Quote | Post #577206 (2)

Lynn this one is a very old and very peculiar cultivar. Did you notice how small were the bulbs? Come along and take a walk in a French garden~~Click here for Species Tulips and other bulbs.

I have never dug it up Catherine. It was here probably since about 1950's. I am so afraid of damaging it. I don't even know how far down to dig. Click here for Sedum, Sempervivum, Jovibarba and heuffelii Quote | Post #577235 (4)

When plants are happy somewhere it is wise not to pull them out or to dig them out since sometimes some bulbs are going deeper with the time. C.

That is why I have not dug them up. I would be so sad if I destroyed them. It is setting flower buds right now. Click here for Sedum, Sempervivum, Jovibarba and heuffelii Quote | Post #577265 (6)

Waiting for nice pictures of your named daffodills Lynn. Are they all very old like the one you have already posted Narcissus 'Rip Van Winkle'. Are you using Daffseek? http://daffseek.org/query/query.php I love daffodils also and want to see all the ones you have. C.

They are from the 1950's, maybe older pass along bulbs. There were here when we bought the house 11 years ago, like the tulips that come back every year. Click here for Sedum, Sempervivum, Jovibarba and heuffelii Quote | Post #586436 (20)
