A long weekend for some, but in Scotland, not all employers offer the holiday, mine included. So just a normal weekend…..but fairly promising weather, including some sunshine to bring on flowers and growth. In which case, it’s high time I showed you my daffs at their best. hard to know where to start, lets go with my new favourite, some delicate white ones.

As a contrast, how about a bright orange centre setting off more standard yellow petals?

I do like the gentle colours, this one is a rather pleasant white with just the palest yellow centre.

This variety has a very similar shape, feels like someone has turned up the yellow button, to deliver yellow petals and a pinky-orange centre.

More frills in the middle, and more colour, but less is more on the petals, and yes, there’s also a free insect (tiny little fly, I don’t know what!).

And to finish, of course some lovely all-butter-yellow daffs. Gotta love how narcissus bring us properly into spring.

Stay safe, take care out there, and don’t forget to follow the crowd on Mastodon. Join the sixes on Mastodon via #SixOnSaturday (other instances in the Fediverse are available), but we need a few more folk to toot on the topic: come join us. All you need to do is find 6 things in your garden to show us. Then post on social, or add a link at Jim’s blog below. For regulars, our organiser is Jim at https://gardenruminations.co.uk/. Also on twitter @JamesLStephens. And I’m now mostly on mastodon @julie3dharris@mastodon.scot.
