Naturalized Daffodils

Spring for me starts when the daffodils are blooming.  I've been enjoying mine now for about a week.  In the last few days I have shared four bouquets from my garden, the first bouquets of the season.  My goal this year is to have something new blooming every couple of weeks and being able to share with friends.  Daffodils start the bouquet season.

Yesterday my husband and I drove by a new store that recently opened.  He commented on the plantings from last year; “looks like they have a bunch of dead shrubs.”  I take a quick look and identify them as hydrangea with last year’s dried blooms not yet trimmed away.  I inform him that we have the same in our yard.
