How are your daffs......

I'm in Lincolnshire and have a dozen or so in flower at the moment and lots of buds ready to burst, not often they flower the same time as snowdrops!!!!!,they're much better than last year when I hardly had any flowers.

 

[quote="HarryS,
PS - I found a bag of Tulip bulbs I bought last November , will they be OK to plant out this November if kept in a cool dark garage ?[/quote]

I would plant them out as soon as the soil is workable and not wait until November. They certainly will be happier in soil and getting rain than in the garage for more months. Will they then bloom in 2014?, have to wait and see. Hopefully they are in a dry airy bag now.

 

our daffs are just starting to open now. "tete a tetes" have been out for a week or so though, they've been keeping the snowdrops company

 

I also live in Birmingham (castle brom) mine are about 3 inches, seems very late. my azaleas have Started to change colour so I'm still excited.

Well that's it then ... just about a week away from a flower ... nice and proud for a good show ... now flattened by snow ... suppose I can cut the worst of them for a vase ...

 

Couple of mins ago

 

Mine have been open since St Davids Day , but they are called February Gold so normally the 1st ones to flower , and I do have others I always check roughly when they bloom before I buy so I have them spread over a couple of weeks , snowdrops still in full flower so the cold is helping them to last longer than normal , Tulips are all staying put I can see about 1 inch of green so until it warms up nothing will happen

Interesting/treat to see those very unusual colours of green/yellow etc, our current pallet is white and has been now for some considerable time!!!!!!!

 

Haven't got a single daff open yet, never known them so late.
This is the best I can manage at the moment.

Daffodils have been out down here for weeks now. Fields of daffodils in Cornwall

 

most of our daffs are out now but the wind & rain has been wreaking havoc on them the last few days, we've no snow here but torrential rain and the wind is quite scary tbh! we've been inspecting them each morning and bringing in all the broken ones to put in a vase in the kitchen, at least they're not being wasted i suppose

 

any chance of seeing a few pics, it sounds magical

 

you lot have my brain addled! i've just asked my mum if she'd like a Daff sandwich...i meant sausage sandwich
