Not this year

There will be no Ice Follies daffodils to steal for Valentine's offerings. There were none last night and there will be none tonight. It appears that a select few will open late tomorrow. Every spring is different, but this one has not presented us with many flowers yet. We're enjoying red fringed anemones with a white ring toward the center, blue-violet or violet-blue very fringed anemones, white flowers on the pea vines, and many tazetta narcissi of various kinds, enough to perfume the air with their scent, which is much more pleasant that that of the various paperwhites.
