Daffodil season is here in my little California yard! This is probably the most exciting time for me in the garden. Bulbs require waiting and patience. So, when they do bloom it's like a present being opened after months of being "wrapped" up. The first daffodils feel so serendipitous, hope is renewed, and spring will be here with all the buds and blooms.
First out of the gate was Topolino. My friend Jenni's comment was that it sure was small. :) haha yes it is a mid-size trumpet. This is my second year with this bulb. It was a b-day present from my dad.

Jenni did not yet see the miniatures blooming. Those will definitely open up any day now because of the light rain and wonderful sun. Miniature daffodils are so sweet and lovely. It would be amazing to grow a big pot of one type. I'll put this on my wish list for next year.
Next to open is what I thought would be containers of Paper Whites that my friend Katie gave me this year. I potted them up in these containers of grey cement.

| Surprise! It's not so white |
Sometimes things turn out different than you expect. Who would not love a this yellow buttercup flower? So, even though my pots aren't those star shaped "little stinkers" these yellow ones are delightful and smell great! Any idea what how actually name this cultivar?
