Little Daffodils & One Very Big one

 I love daffs of all types but I’m especially smitten with the smaller ones and those that fill the air with a glorious fragrance.    

The gallery below features some of my favorite little ones – plus a new-to-me gorgeous, gigantic beauty, ‘Marieke’ that I have fallen in love with this year. If you would like to add some of these to your garden,  my favorite sources for bulbs are Brent & Becky's  (daffodils specialists whose paper catalog provides excellent  and more detailed information for each of their bulbs than they put on their website) and John Scheepers. 

Two of the very first flowers to bloom in our garden every year are "Little Beauty" and "Tete a Tete".  Then ‘Jetfire’ with it’s swept back “wings” and orange trumpet opens followed very soon by a parade of others, including the flamboyant little wild child, 'Rip Van Winkle'.
