Daffodils

Some of these daffodils are growing in my garden for years and some had been planted last fall. Some of my older daffodils needed to be divided, some needed to be moved and some needed fertilizer. I am not really in favor of using fertilizer but this spring I sprinkled some bulb fertilizer in my garden in which the primary recepient are my lilies and my daffodils have benefited from it also. I have seen some of my old daffodils bloom that are bloomless the previous years.

My Garden This Spring

It has been a while since I posted pics of spring beauties in my garden. This post is to update you guys on what are blooming. I have lots of lily noses poking through the ground and so are my hostas. The hosta I watched most to come out of senescence is Great Expectations. It is known to be finicky. I bought it as one-eye plant. This is its third year and it is still the same. The lilies that I waited to come out are the Auratum species. They are known to be temperamental in the garden. I saw their noses poke through and with several bulblets growing beside them. I am so glad!

Here are some pics taken today and some are taken a few days ago.

This combo has a little bit of everything.


My one and only hyacinth.



Please excuse the mess. I was installing that black plastic edger but I never finished it.

This is the heavily shaded part of the garden.

The orange tulips are the first tulip bloomers for me this spring.

And lastly, here are my asiatic lily Elodie. I planted 8 bulbs last year and they multiplied like crazy.
