daffodils

The daffodils are about done for the season, and I thought it was time to show them off a little bit. I upped my daffodil game last year, and the results make me happy.  I've been able to pick a couple of bouquets, and still have plenty of flowers blooming in the yard.   That may not sounds like a big deal, but considering where I started when I moved in, trust me it is.  I'll add a more daffodils this year, but it won't be the huge undertaking it once was.

 

I have daffodils in quite a few places, but the main show is along the rock wall beside my driveway.  This area was completely bare when I moved in, and eventually I'd like to make a shade border with year round interest.  It's a work in progress, but it still makes me happy.

And just for good measure, here's a picture of the vinca minor near my front steps.  It was exceptionally pretty this year, in part because I give it almost free reign.  Parts of my yard turn purple in the spring, and then the foliage dissapears into the moss, grass, and monkey grass.
