Our Daffodils meet Andy Warhol's Flowers. Suddenly life is bright and warm.

Daffodils on the Verge

Our daffodils are just on the verge of blooming. I think back to previous years and the daffodils and the forsythia were already out and present in our Easter photos. The Easter Bunny hopped away over a week ago and we are still waiting on these cheering yellows to break through the gray.

Someday I want to have a field of daffodils like the one pictured in this from Jasper Conran's book Country.

Our Daffodils

Thank goodness deer don't have an appetite for daffodils. Our bulbs are up and I'm already planning to plant more in the fall. Gobs more. I'm even thinking of going outside our garden beds into the lawn near our trees. I love spotting daffodils growing in odd places like the side of a road, by old train tracks or at the edge of a wood.

We picked a few of our own for our kitchen table and I have to say I'm really amazed at how gorgeous the colors are and how a few flowers in a vase can be so beautiful.
