Narcissus ‘Mon Cherie’

In between intermittent snow showers, I went outside to photograph the daffodils in my garden.  I needed something to remind me that it is one month into spring season.  Nothing says spring like this narcissus with its exceptional, frilly, apricot-pink cups set off by white petals.

Last fall, I planted 50 bulbs in this shallow container and placed it on a pedestal.  It sits by my front door, greeting everyone with its cheery blossoms.  Some of the plants ended up horizontal with the rain, sleet, snow, and hail that fell from the sky the last few days.

This spring is one for the record books; however, the daffodils keep me grounded in the knowledge that this too shall pass.  Garden season will be here soon enough and in full force, and I can quit whining about the inclement weather.  As typical Northwesterners often do, I will move on to complaining it is too hot.

Oh so very true! I would be very happy if we ease into summer with a nice cool spring, with a warmer late spring and not too hot when summer finally arrives on July 5th!

I love the peachy/apricot of the daffs!

Up here, it seems to arrive about the 3rd weekend in July. Or at least that seems to be the weekend every year that doesn't rain. I can only remember one that did. That's when the holiday should be scheduled!
