Daffodils give me hope for the future. I can remember opening my eyes after having double mastectomies and the first thing I saw was a gigantic vase of daffs, they gave me such promise. Oh dear, I'm going all teary here, I better go and try your lemon trick on the microwave, Margaret

Defintly agree with you, I love daffs too - every year my mum and I buy each other a bunch around Mother's Day - they always make me smile :)

Hello!
The daffodils are out and have been for a couple of weeks here! Sunny Devon of course!!
The crocuses, iris , hyacinths etc are all there too!
A very lovely and colourful garden and tubs to enjoy!
And the birds are already singing early in the mornings!

It's funny because the daffs around here were out long before those in London and Manchester last year - maybe we have a mini climate here that they like. I planted lots when we first moved in too but now I only have about 30 that bloom and shan't be planting anymore until I have my garden redesigned (although I've no idea when that will be). Those that do still bloom really make me smile though

We still waiting on ours to come out, planted 100's of all different types, sigh, wish they out now.

Kethry. I don't like that the stores sell them too early either. It takes away the excitement (rather like Christmas).

Catz. I love that - smiley flowers :)

Fifi. I used to love winter when I lived in Norway but British winters do nothing for me (maybe I've been spoiled). I'd love a real fire because central heating just doesn't do anything for me and I don't have a hubby to

Our daffs are poking their little heads up, but none are flowering yet. Plenty of crocuses and snowdrops though :-)

Thsi is one of my favourite times of year (summer's the best, but only if its a good one - NOT like last year!!) as it always holds so much promise.

I do disagree though Sharon, there are plenty of good things about Winter. Okay, so the long dark nights and the

I always think that daffs are the smiliest flowers! You can't help but be cheered up by them!

no daffs here yet, at least, not the flowers, not that i've seen. mostly crocuses and winter primroses. can't wait to see my first daffodil - in the wild, i mean. There's lots in stores! (sadly).

Yes, that renewed optimism can be felt everywhere. The only good thing about British winters, I think, is that we wouldn't appreciate spring without them :)

I feel the same about daffs - there are my favourite flower for exactly the same reasons - the optimism of spring time.

Hope you're feeling ok today :)
