We are not in the floor of the valley, so our elevation keeps our temps a little cooler, and I believe that’s why our daffs are blooming a little later than those in town. I haven’t learned enough about them yet to know their bloom times, but it looks like the previous owner took some time to plan out succession planting. While some have just peaked (the white ruffled), others are just getting started (the small white with orange-tipped yellow centers).
I can’t identify any of these. If you can, please let me know!
I’m not the only one who enjoys looking at the daffodils. Our “border collie mutt” walks with me each morning .
I’ve gotten some ideas of names from some of the wonderful people at the Garden Web daffodil forum. I’ll learn more about each (size, etc.) and I’ll post a followup when I know for sure.
The tall white with the “sturdy” cup – Mount Hood.
The white double – Ice King.
The white petals and yellow cup – Ice Follie
