Narcissus Grand Soleil d'Or -At last you can see what I am talking about!!! (The feature to add a picture from my computer seems to have returned )This little treasure has been blooming since early December. Just got back from the GGIA Atlanta trade show to a lyer of freezing rain on the roads around the Greenville SC area and temperatures around 26 degrees F and this morning these brave little souls have STILL perked up their heads in defiance of the weather to bring the sun out in the garden!! I now have 3 blooms of Narcissus Rijnelds Early Sensation too. The smaller early daffodils make such wonderful landscape additions to cheer us onour way at this time of year. They are so underused. Similarly the miniature tulips are coming up and are a great additon to rock gardens and pots. Once they start to bloom I will add their joyous faces to the blog.Crazy weather though -it is forecast to be 70degrees again by Tuesday. How the poor garden can cope with such dramatic variations never fails to amaze me.
Anyway, I brought back a beautiful specimen of Edgeworthia Winter Gold from our dear friends at Cam Too Camelia nursery in NC and some wonderful organic coffee and organic pecans from Cleveland Organics of GA. You should check out their stuff I promise you it is worth it. It was a good trade show, busy and as always, it was fun to see old friends and catch up with their news
