Enjoying some sunshine on a stem / myLot

The various daffodils are beginning to bloom around the yard. Some have this traditional look and others are bushy lion's head type things. I am not sure of the difference in daffodils, jonquils and narcissus, but they are all related one way or another. I look it up every year, and every year I forget. They certainly are pretty and cheerful though.

Daffodils are like small suns I think. Do you expect lots more?

@GardenGerty That sounds really interesting. I'd love to see a photo of it when it blooms.

Yellow blooms are so cheerful for springtime. I wish I could grow those here but it's too dry here for most pretty flowers.

I think your weather does not get cold enough either for these.

They are all bloomed and gone here. They bloom in February. I like that, sunshine on a stem.

Daffodil are generally barely scented while jonquils are very perfumed. Both jonquils and daffodils are classed as "narcissus".

I had never heard that about the fragrance. I look it up every year and then promptly forget it.

@GardenGerty They did not last long this year, too dry and today the wind is blowing again.

The daffodils are unusually beautiful. Spring is my favorite season since there are so many beautiful flowers in bloom
