I remember one year I was in London the first week of March, and there were blooms galore in the parks! Even the locals were surprised.

She likes the desert but she really misses the spring flowers

I think that being close to the foundation of the house helps them stay warmer and they bloom, perhaps, a little earlier than others not near a building.

Happy you are getting them! We have a couple days of snow blowing in and I have a parking lot for a yard now, last year I had a huge garden and all that, kind of depressing. At least I have a view of the mountains and the sky. Maybe have a small garden in a small patch out back but I'd have to protect everything from wind, rabbits and deer. Could be a big challenge!

Yay for daffodils! They are so happy looking, I hope they last a few days after they bloom.

is 4/16 and my earliest memories are of my beloved grandmother always picking me a vase of daffodils for my birthday. They are my favorite flower to this day. Just a wonderful childhood memory of that rare, unconditional love. sigh.
