Simple Sunday

The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size.
~Gertrude S. Wister


~~See this daffodil? I told my husband this past fall that if these flowers did not bloom in the spring, I was going to pull them up. I have had these planted in my front flower bed for well over 15 years and for the last 13 of those years they have not bloomed once.....imagine my surprise this week when I discovered this wonderful bloom. Simply Beautiful.

  5. What a nice surprise---it was just telling you ---" don't give up on me " it just takes time for things to get to maturity and bloom, even in people----some times some things are just slower than others----we all need a good dose of understanding and patience----glad you did not throw it away----very beautiful !!!!

  6. What a nice surprise. I once lived in a home where the bulbs had been in the ground a very long time and I "lifted" them and replanted at a depth of twice the length of the bulb and after skipping one year, they started blooming. A lot of work but worth it!

  7. Guess they must have been listening. I have some iris doing the very same thing...maybe I need to go "talk" to them. Your daffodil is really spectacular.

    May God Bless You This Sunday

  12. Isn't that funny? I wonder why they haven't bloomed much?

    One year I planted a million bulbs and watched in dismay as the squirrels dug them up and ate almost all of them. I still have some survivors that bloom every year and I'm so proud of them.

  15. My daughter lives just north of Denver. She say's that the weather there, is as crazy as it has been for us, here in the south.

    I wonder if it is too hot for daffodils in Louisiana?

Sometimes someone says something really small, and it's like it fits into this empty space in your heart!

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your thoughts here, they really mean a lot to me!
