I don't know how I missed these last year. In the patch of daffodils near the old house foundations is a smaller patch of double daffodils.
I love the way it's hard to tell how far they've opened because they're stuffed so full of yellowness. Yet they have more green than the plain yellow trumpets.
Spring: color!

Those are SO pretty! I love daffodils and tulips - all the spring flowers - because they are so cheerful-looking. (or perhaps it's because just about anything with a little colour looks cheerful after a long, dark winter!)
ReplyDeleteLove the double daffodils! I envy you for having flowers already! As Bag Lady says, anything flowery after winter is fantastic!
ReplyDelete"stuffed full of yellowness." Fabulous writing.
ReplyDeleteI love how many of the early spring flowers are yellow: daffodils, forsythia, dandelions, and some of the crocuses. There aren't many yellow midsummer flowers, and then at the end of the season we get goldenrod, chrysanthemums, and black-eyed Susans.
ReplyDeleteDaryl, I was so pleased when that phrase popped into my head as I stared at the daffodils. Sometimes my Muse is really on the job.
Spring colours indeed! The mother dear got me some flowers for Easter- pink and yellow tulips. Love having them in my living room to brighten the place up.
