Yellow Fever



Tete-a-Tete Daffodils
Means "head to head" in French
Often Two or More Blooms per Stem

Nothing says spring like daffodils and we do love our daffodils in the northern part of the country. I bet Carolyn at Sweet Home and Garden Chicago has seen all of the half million daffodils blooming at the Chicago Botanic Garden. I leave this afternoon for Belfast to see all their daffodils and enjoy The Spring Flower Show activities. I kid you, of course.....going to our grandson's flag football game.

These daffodils have become the favorites in my yard.

  3. Donna, I LOVE all your daffs. I did not know what tete tete meant - I love learning all that botanical stuff!

    Your post makes me wish I planted more bulbs - I get lazy in the fall.... sort of run out of energy by then. Please post these again in September... maybe that will motivate me.

    Your new pix are so cute. Nice to put a face with your blog. Enjoy the sun!
