I think that second cold snap was to blame, ours are just budding. The park's usually full of kids picking bunches for their Mums to-day. I give them a look but I don't really mind as it saves me dead-heading.Loved the picture, b.t.w.
Our tete-a-tetes are now flowering but the daffodils are only just forming buds here on the South Coast. Although there is a garden right on the seafront that has daffodils fully out but they're the only ones we've seen...they look wonderful and I wish ours would get a wriggle on!
Hi everyone. So first sighting on the south coast (even if a neighbour's, Nina).
Please do let me know when they do first appear 'in the wild' around your patch. We could track the progress of the season from south to north. Last year I remember driving from Edinburgh to Aberdeen and noticing how much less further on they were as you went north. This Easter we're off to Thurso (Think John 'o Groats - it's next door) but I expect they'll be well out by then, even up there - I'll let you know.
Yes first sighting yesterday of daffodils on grass verges, I guess this weeks sun has egged them on a bit! For anyone still craving that spring yellow I've put a picture of my tete-a-tetes up on my blog to share.
Nope...Daffs aren't out here either...thats what we get for haveing such a cold winter I guess...they should be here for easter though!!
ReplyDeleteNo daffs here in Rotherham, except the indoor ones of coarse.
ReplyDeleteMine have buds so I'm hopeful of seeing them coming out very soon....
ReplyDeleteI check up at my grandparent house today and they have buds but no blooms yet.

Our mini daffs are out but not the big cousins yet. I did see one or two though in a garden near us in Ossett West Yorkshire.
