in the garden: the first daffodils

The crocuses are kaput, but the daffodils are opening just in time to give the garden some new color. I have some plain King Alfred-style yellow daffodils that are bright and cheery, but I especially love these Jack Snipe dwarf narcissus. They’re short and sturdy (and don’t fall over in the rain, of which we’re having plenty), they’re bright and they smell great. I keep adding clumps of them, but I don’t have nearly enough yet.
