      My early daffs have bloomed along with snowdrops, later ones have buds, even later show good leaves.

        Lots of my garden pics are found on redstar's garden thread. If you check the entry date for the month its pretty much what is happening now. The bulbs we did thin out are not blooming yet, they are timed to bloom when our magnolias bloom (yep I did say that). So when that, 600 or so blooms I'll get out there and get that pic.

          My poor husband out there today doing a job I hate with the Daffs. Digging up the tight clusters of them that have been there 15 or so years. Separating and finding spots for them. He said he replanted 150 today. So what is the count at now??????

              Mine are battered!

              Half of my 300 or so daffs haven't emerged this year, I assume the bulbs rotted with all the rain over the last year. The rest have been flattened by snow so pretty much a non-starter.

              gosh, several hundred of my early minitures up and happy, buds on the next couple thousand. My favorite rip van winkle just opened. Lots of my blue guys abounding everywhere. Crocus drifts in 5 places, which I love. But, we have been splinting some already even before blooming, so tight, so those may not till next year.
