My suggestion is to use the smaller daffodils and the earlier blooming: February Gold, Little Gem, Tete a Tete, Jet Fire and the like. They'll need time to mature before the lawn is mowed. I rake a little line of pine straw so that the-one-who-mows knows not to run over them prematurely. I've even put surveyor's tape where he can see not to mow. In the front yard, I plant little crescents of daffodils on the ends of my berms rather than putting them in the lawn so that neat prevails.Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-45246088552154183332010-02-24T17:16:34.033-06:002010-02-24T17:16:34.033-06:00Gail, I imagine the cold did help.

I bought pre-chilled Hyacinths & Tulips from Brent & Becky's, which seems to have been a very good decision.<br /><br />Rose, I got not one bloom last year from the Hyacinths I tried to force. I'd love to grow them inside just to have that fragrance close by.<br /><br />Leslie, the dots on the snowflakes are definitely green. They may start out more yellow-green when young, though.<br /><br />MT, I ordered from Brent & Becky's Bulbs and I will definitely do so again. The Snowflakes were passalongs, though.Cindy, MCOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094260737874973235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-48910914759676696952010-02-24T14:35:57.473-06:002010-02-24T14:35:57.473-06:00OMG Cindy--what beautiful blooms you have!

The fall before last I planted so many new bulbs, but last year I didn't have time. You've given me reason to scour the catalogs this fall for more new varieties to add. I don't have "Erlicheer," but what a beauty! My first attempt at forcing hyacinth bulbs doesn't look good--I think I put too much water in the vases. I have much better luck with them outside--can't wait to see some popping up here!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-90814521329791904922010-02-23T18:31:53.274-06:002010-02-23T18:31:53.274-06:00The cold weather you had might have helped...They ...The cold weather you had might have helped...They look scrumptious Cindy...and I agree 'Erlicheer' is a keeper...I love the fragrance~I think it puts the Paperwhites to shame...They sure don't smell as nice. gailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.com
