        Can only see daffs - it's lovely when you start to see signs of life coming through, especially after all the bad weather we've had.

                  my crocus and daffs came through some weeks back. just noticed couple days ago some tips poking through where i planted some tulip bulbs (i think botanical tulips)

                  has been fairly mild start to the year. anyone got an idea how long before we see some flowers from daffs etc? never grown em before myself

                  Around Mid March for Daffs RB , obviously early spring flowers are dependent on the weather conditions for when they flower. Also which one of the 27,000 registered hybrids , you are growing !

                      They will be up Mid March RB , I like mini daffs got quite a few of them in my wall baskets. Lovely flower daffs they warm your heart in early spring letting you know there is 6 months of rain , wind and freezing days on the way :biggrin:

                        hopefully the weather stays mild and they show up a little earlier as i'm going away around mid-march for a couple of weeks and i dont want to miss em in flower, but what can ya do eh lol.

                        i planted crocus and mini-daffodils together in hanging baskets, I thought they'd both show flowers at around the same time so would make a nice display, but i think crocus will flower earlier than daffs so there goes that plan. will be ok though, atleast i get to see some nice colors lol
