The Tête-à-Tête daffodils have arrived in the stores like little drops of sunshine and promises of spring. The other night my husband and I had to run to the market for some necessities and when I saw the pretty display out front, it went something like this in one long squeal of delight:
“OoooohhIlovewhenthedaffodilscometothestorestheylooksoprettyit’slikespring!”
And of course, plop! they went right into the cart. Tête-à-Tête daffodils are early-bloomers, so they are perfect for forcing indoors. Every year I say I’m going to buy a stash of bulbs and grow my own and every year I forget. Duh. But if you want to start thinking about next year, you can find some bulbs for sale at Brecks. In the meantime, pick some up that are already blooming and bring home a little sunshine!
These are my absolute favorite flower! Except down here, they are known as jonquils (but only to the super local folks who have been here for generations). I wish my entire yard to be full of them. Alas, I only have 4 or 5! I should really change that, huh?
I think we should all start calling them jonquils again! I love that. Yes, you should plant more! I keep meaning to do that too, so maybe we should remind each other this fall! 🙂
