Daffodil 'Barrett Browning'

This small cup Daffodil has multiplied so nicely  on the driveway bed that last year I was able to divide some bulbs from the clump. Here they look like they are talking to each other

Fire Tower Road Daffodils

When we moved to Greenville 11 years ago there were horses in a field on Fire Tower Road. Every spring I noticed bunches of daffodils would pop up no doubt enjoying the excellent fertilizer provided by said horses.
Now there is a gas station and a Wendy's at that location, but before the road crew got there my friend Pam and I took the truck and dug up some of the clumps. Over the years they have multiplied nicely.

In researching heirloom daffodil websites I was able to find out they are the so called Campernelle jonquil
 Narcissus x odorus L.
(The L. stands for Carl Linnaeus the 18th century Swedish botanist who named them)
Whatever you call them they are fragrant with cylindrical narrow leaves and some have several blooms per stem. I have put them in several places in the garden and shared them with friends to keep them viable, after all they have been around for hundreds of years we don't want to loose them now.

the large cup daffodil 'Ice Follies' is a favorite in my garden. 
So reliable some of these have been planted for ten years.

Even from the back they are lovely

Daffodil Down

Another freezing episode in this never ending winter.

My Daffodils have just put their faces down until it's over

Vertical Garden Update

Yesterday a delightful 72 degrees so I took the vertical garden experiment
 out of the potting shed for some sunshine and fresh air.

The plants have done well in the month since I planted them.
Mazus reptans, a gift from my friend Ann's garden, has even started to bloom!

I put the Mazus at the bottom thinking it would be the wettest place.


So many experiments.
Just for fun I poked a few Nasturtium seeds into the media and if you look carefully one has germinated above the Lamium which is next to the Mazus.
