Daffodil 2013 Mixed Daffodil and Ice Follies Hillsides: Ice Follies and Scarlet O’Hara
The mixed daffodils and the Ice Follies hillside began blooming well on about March 2nd, after the earlier yellow trumpets of February Gold and Dutch Master had hit their peaks in late February. Luckily, we had good rain and good intermittent rain to keep everything looking and feeling fresh. As the daffodils are on the easter side of the farm, they hold up well for several weeks.
The Ice Follies this weekend were gorgeous while friends from high school and college took to the paths to see their splendor. The mixed hillside consisted of small daffodils, Tete a Tete and Jet Fire and the larger daffodils Ice Follies mixed with Scarlet O’Hara which is yellow with an orange trumpet. There is a third daffodils planted with them, Salome, but it was not in sight yet as it is a later variety.
CEDRIC AND PIPPA:
What made this weekend even more fun was the first visit from my youngest granddaughter who sat and examined the daffodils. As she is very observant, she went right to work on them and Cedric, my Springer Spaniel spotted us after a rest on the platform and slalomed down the hill to see her. I saw him at the top of the hill with his head silhouetted, then he appeared near a tree and began his arthritic journey down the hill. It was wonderful to see him make it down and the big smile he had when he was down was wonderful to behold! No one has enjoyed the fields of daffodils more than he has over the last thirteen years that he and I have lived here.
Daffodil 2013 Mixed Daffodil and Ice Follies Hillsides: THALIA
The next hillside is the largest one and probably has around 60,000 thousand Thalia daffodils, that will be blooming over the next few weeks. They drop down the hill and go around it almost to the solar panels on the edge of my property and are naturalizing very well. I have to overplant the Ice Follies somewhat, but the Thalia keep going and growing. They are among the latest of the daffodils.
