I do not know any other way to describe how I felt when I saw two little Jetfire Daffodils poking up amongst the Goutweed today. I had stopped expecting that the 50 daffs I had planted beneath the back spruce were going to make an appearance.

Jetfire are relatively short daffodils and some may bloom entirely below the Goutweed this year, but those that show themselves are set off quite nicely against their companion's white and green foliage.

Upon closer inspection I could see a few other Jetfire a few days from blooming but none of the taller Pimpernel towards the back were apparent. But if two can come up, and the other hundred have come up, then there is still hope for more.
Next year, assuming we do not have another delayed spring, the daffodils should bloom in advance of the Goutweed which will then cover their dying leaves. At least that was my plan...
Is that for REAL!
ReplyDeletetonight I am going to cut back some of the Goutweed and reveal more of the daffs, the goutweed will simply fill in again in short order. Watch for an updated photo after I ferret them all out!
DeleteThat's so pretty! I'd never heard of those before!
ReplyDeleteThe Jetfire daffs are petite. I hope next year they actually bloom before they get covered up!
DeleteBetter late than never, eh. Sounds like a good plan - I do hope it works better next time.
ReplyDeleteThanks, all told I have uncovered about 6 that have made it.
DeleteThey must be pretty tough then...a good garden surprise then,... Michelle from Nature Notes..
ReplyDeleteI also found some in the front yard that I had forgotten about. The "late" blooming daffs are really, really, late!
