Fact: There are at least a couple hundred daffodils planted in my flowerbeds.
Fact: They will bloom in approximately 2-3 weeks.
Fact: Patience, when it comes to daffodils, can be highly overrated.
Fact: Daffodil deprivation accelerates all known symptoms of spring fever.
Fact: $2.99 is a small price to pay for early spring sanity, though it may be a bit much for 10 stems of "field cut" [grocery-store] daffodils.
Fact: Buying 2 bundles of daffodils in no way makes them a better deal, but quadruples the happiness factor.
Fact: I'm glad I did it and I'll probably do it again next year!
After reading your lovely posting, I'll be looking for daffodils in my store on this first day of spring. Not quite the same as having them blooming in the garden, but why wait? Wishing you a happy one! P. x
ReplyDeleteMine are like a little spot of sunshine on my counter. I'm content to wait for the ones outside, as long as I have these to gaze at every now and then. Thanks for stopping by, Pam!
ReplyDeleteGo for it. When your daffodils bloom you can bring them inside for much less, but why wait? I'm a bit ahead of you and my daffodils have been blooming for 2 weeks now. When the stems bend, I cut them and bring them inside. Better than having them with their faces in the ground, right?
