* Daffodils are sensitive to sun and temperature. Those growing close to a heat sink like a stone wall, or in town, will bloom sooner than those in a cooler place like an open country field. Mine bloom later than the ones in town, but among the first are often those under the big maple, facing the sunny south lot.
Thank you!
I'm glad you liked them.
