We Have Daffodils!!

[endlessrarities]

The first daffodils were coming into bloom when we left on our recent short break to Kirkcudbright,

We've returned to find that a significant proportion are now flat, or at the very least, listing at 45 degrees.

But we've got some blooms that are worth admiring.  This is a clump of the early flowering 'Jetfire', with its orange trumpet and uplifted petals:-

 

And I couldn't do a garden update without including yet another hellebore shot.  This one's another 'Washfield Double' - in this instance, it's a white example with lovely mottled red interior:-

 

The brunnera and pulmonaria are coming along nicely, and I've have to find homes for the two new hellebores and the euphorbia I bought this morning at Threave.  My senetti are now being hardened off, but a few days' neglect has not helped my Callibrachea-whojamyflipps or my sweet peas...  I've lost a couple due to 'damping off', which is one of the perils of ordering plants via mail order...

Hellebores are definitely on my 'have to get' list.

You should see the new ones! They are to die for!!!

Now all I have to do is find a place for them...

My mother has some freesia bulbs for you, if you're interested. She's got too many.

Oh, yes please!!

I've never had much luck with freesia, but I'd really like to give them another go!
