First daffodils

The first daffodils finally opened yesterday. For some reason, my daffodils bloom later than other daffodils nearby. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s a slight difference in the genes of my daffodils. Sometimes I think the air is a bit cooler here, because Acorn Abbey sits down in a small valley surrounded by ridges. Maybe cool air collects in this little valley, though it sure doesn’t feel that way in summertime.

I planted 50 pounds of daffodil bulbs in the fall of 2008, so there is no shortage of daffodils.
