They're not just yellow!

Last Monday ML and I went up to the mega-nursery/gift shop near us, desperate for some color after too much rain. They had a ton of daffodils in their outdoor shop, and it always amazes me how many different varieties of daffodils and narcissus there are. Daffies have the long trumpet; narcissus have the little "snub nose" and often have 2 or more blooms per stalk. It was so fun to see all the yellow daffs that you always associate with spring, but even more fun to see all these different varieties, especially the one with the apricot trumpet!




I love these split-trumpet, doubled daffodils. They remind me of the crepe-paper flowers I used to make when I was a kid.

Gorgeous shots, and a good reminder that although it seems like forever, Spring really is just around the corner(way up north here we still have snow, UGH!).
