As if I needed more reasons to adore daffodils--what, their sunny colors, pest resistance, and willingness to naturalize aren't enough?--this year, I learned that season-stretching should be added to the plus column. From April to June, I've enjoyed fifty delightful days of daffodils. A longer run is no doubt possible, if you were a more intentional and intelligent gardener than I.
So, here's a fast paced run-down of what was in bloom and when. No commentary other than the names of the varieties and the dates of the photographs . . . that says it all.
"Hawara" April 28

"Marieke" April 16
"White Medal" April 24

"Minnow" April 29
"Ceylon" May 1
"Mount Hood" May 3
"Tete a Tete" May 6
"Thalia" June 4
The month of May looks a little sparse. Maybe I don't need any additional reasons, but now I have an excuse at least to plant a few more bulbs.

Oh my gosh, what variety in color and shape, and such a treat to have them spread out over time. I love mine to pieces but they are all pretty much the same yellow with a few that are white, and they all bloom during the same time period. They do last a good while, but not fifty 'daze.' I'm especially fond of your ice king and minnow. But they are all so beautiful.
I love daffodils. That's a very nice photo collection of daffodils.
