Daffodil design

By 6 commentsCategory: Design, SpringTags: ,

Inspired by a sunbeam.
At 7:15am, as the sun peeks over the mountain peak, it focused on the petals of the daffodils, rescued from the past week’s snow.  My interest is piqued and I reach for the camera, the small one, set it for no flash and macro setting. Welcome, sun! Fun!

Daffodils are Ice King, Ice Follies and Ice Wings and some unknown. See ‘Ice Wings’

    I’m crazy about all the ‘Ice’ daffodils. My Ice Kings reverted back to single because of the climate here. Still pretty.

    Sunshine and daffodils, can’t go wrong with that combination. I like what you’ve done with having both in abundance. The Ice Follies is one of the few daffodils that will repeat–and actually thrive!–down here in my too-warm-for-many-bulbs climate. I’m glad at least one of the daffodils likes me…

      Thanks, Arleen! The daffs are still pretty fresh after a week. They are near where I sit, so now I am noticing a strong acrid smell from them. I changed the water and trimmed the ends of each bunch, but it didn’t stp the odor and it gives me a bit of a headache. I’ll move ’em to another spot. The multi stemmed ‘Ice Wings’ look the same as when I first picked them, still pure white and pristine! Love them!

      James, I’m glad there are some you can grow in SD. They always surprise me when they come. Nice!

      Nell Jean, I didn’t know they revert like that. Interesting.

    Oh, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous (not to put too fine a point on it…gorgeous, period!)

    If you add a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of either bleach or vinegar to your vase water, it helps to combat any unpleasant smell and, I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I believe the touch of sugar contributes to the sweetness of the floral perfume 😉
