DAFFODILS BLOOMING AT ARBORETUM

Several years ago we planted a bushel of naturalizing daffodils purchased from Terra Ceia Farms in Pantego, NC.  They are gradually increasing in numbers as they ought to.  The assortment of bulbs provides many weeks of color from the different varieties in the bushel.  However, it was a surprise to see a small bunch already in bloom last week.  A very cheerful welcome for an otherwise dreary colored landscape!

The best time to plant spring blooming bulbs is in the fall.  However, you can read up on some things to consider right now by clicking HERE.
