Efflorescence

Courtesy of the mystery bulb mix, southern-style, from White Flower Farm, we have two clumps of beautiful unidentified narcissi, new to us, in bloom. They are short-stemmed and sturdy. The cups are pale yellow bubbles, and the perianth is larger and more blunt-ended than varieties like Grand Primo. These are the first blooms from this batch. We're seeing more leaves of species tulips of various kinds. Appearing everywhere within the last day or so are leaves of old-fashioned single narcissus. There are still some paperwhites blooming from dumped pots. A few more Montopolis narcissi bloom every day. After the threatened killing frost, geraniums and nasturtiums were carried outdoors again. Rosemary is liking this weather.
