Daffodils Painting the Sodden Gardens with Yellow, White, and Orange`

 

 Happy Electric Meters

The gardens (front, butterfly, and backyard) are sodden with rain-soaked leaves and debris, but the daffodils are blooming all over. We planted them two different years, maybe more, but the most last year.


Every so often, the same pair of companies emailed me about this or that kind of daffodil. They arrived at once, got installed in the dry can't-dig season of fall, and disappeared as if forgotten.

Bulbs - especially daffodils - are planted flowers, pre-destined to thrive. They establish themselves, as designed by the Son of God, the Logos, and thrill to ice cold winters and drippy spring. The pointed leaves push up to release the more delicate flower stems, and the colors suddenly appear. They are easily harvested with scissors and decorate the altar and the cemeteries. 

The daffodil bulbs use their vacation time to build up the bulbs and increase the next year's yield.
