I have pink, yellow, orange and white so far.
This has been fun because I forgot what I planted where so it is like surprise every day.

The iris are budding too. Last year's heavy summer rains have contributed to a wonderful bloom season.

I love bulb plants

2. I love daffodils!
Some flowers look sensual but daffodils just look happy.
I've never heard of a pink daffodil. Could you post a picture? Or did you mean to say tulips?

6. Wow!
THanks for the photos.
At my old house, I had lots of the basic daffodils and a few odd ones, like orange or pale yellow, double-headed ones. If I still had a house and garden, I'd get some of the pale pinks one.
If you get a chance, I'd love to see some photos of your own garden.
Happy Spring!

7. I just noticed yesterday I have rosebuds too, on all 3 of my bushes.
Early summer is best bloom time for roses here. They sort of go into remission when the heat wave hits.

8. When my ex and I moved in here ten years ago
he planted 100's of bulbs.They come up every spring and I always think about him when I see the flowers. My Grandparents really enjoy them too.
