Diary of the Daffodils

This is my mama's chair. She likes to bundle up and sit out here and enjoy her daffodil woods!

These miniatures are the Teté-â-Teté variety. They are tiny and usually the first daffodils to push their way through the cold ground in Feb at my mom's home.

The very lucky get a gift of Daffodils from mama's home. She loves the people at her gym, so they always get a vase.

To propagate daffodils, dig up clumps every 3-5 years, separate offsets, and replant immediately for continuous blooms.

Some of the flowers my mom took to show at the Virginia Daffodil Society a few years back. I'm excited to grow some flowers to show in 2026.

The daffodil's corona (trumpet) contains most of the flower's nectar, which is specifically designed to attract long-tongued pollinators like bees.

Daffodil flowers exhibit heliotropism, meaning they will turn their heads to follow the sun's path across the sky.

Congrats! You've built a great app and community! Thank you!

those are my plans as well. I've got a box of bulbs ready to go into the ground. I'm surprising my mother with additions to her daffodils.

I'm looking forward to it! About to get started on planting more bulbs to surprise my mom with.

Daffodils are so amazing. Such resilient and gorgeous blooms. I'm about to start adding more bulbs for my mom to surprise her this winter.

daffodils always make me smile.

I'm looking forward to this winter to see the daffodils. They bloom at the end of Feb to mid march in my region.

Are those miniatures?

awesome painting. Great work.

my favorite flower!

Fantastic idea. I just got 1000 bulbs. I may have gone overboard... Going to be a busy planting fall.

beautiful. Love the vibrant colors.

In Ottoman gardens, daffodils symbolized the all-seeing eye of God watching earth awaken.

A single daffodil bulb can split and form offsets, eventually creating a large clump that can be divided to propagate new plants.

Life has been a whirlwind the past few weeks after my computer sadly stopped wanting to work. Luckily all the pics from my mom's daffodils were saved in Dropbox so they were not lost!!!
Got some cool news on the horizon concerning her daffodils, stay tuned!!

You are the earth's way of whispering, "I remember the sun," after a long silence.

The daffodil’s trumpet isn’t just for show, it helps attract pollinators like bees & butterflies.

These are some of my mother's favorites of her daffodils. The Tete A Tete daffodil. It is one of the first daffodils to start blooming, a tiny miniature with bright flowers. I hope to see it push through the snow this winter.

Daffodils naturalized under deciduous trees benefit from full sun in early spring before the trees leaf out, meeting their light needs perfectly.
