Beautiful flowers, Sheri!!!

I always think fondly of William Wordsworths poem about daffodils when I see them - it was a favorite of my mom's when I was younger and has stayed with me since.

"I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD"
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
1804.

I planted those there a couple of years ago. I have tulips that usually come up first, but they've just started. I'm not sure how this is gonna work out this year with everything being early. Later in the summer snapdragons usually come up. I'll have to wait and see what it's gonna be this summer.

I just looked out the bedroom window and my row of forsythia is blooming. It's usually the first thing in the spring to bloom in my neck of the woods. Things are so out of order this year.

Found two rose of Sharon white and purple blooming in my hall this morning. Had to move the white outside to get a good shot as flash washed it out.

Pretty, Jimmy!
How do you get them to bloom in your hall?
Do you have plant lights over them?

Thanks for the compliments. Tina the bloom is 4 inch's across has more buds and the purple one has another bloom opening . Cindy I have them in my hall useing full spectrum lights all winter. They are outside now getting some air and indirect sun getting ready to stay out after last freeze around March 14. Also had to put them out to put some Fish Emulsion on them to stimulate their roots.If I used that inside I wouldn't be able to stay in the house. Trent aleady gripes because I put water in the jug inside the house sure has a smell. laugh

Morning penny you could probably use some of this sun also. All my plants are on the porch now lows overnight will be around 58 so looks like I can leave them out overnight at least until Thursday when cold wave from Pacific is supposed to bring some of Tina and Patty's rain along with colder weather.

Triss mine have always bloomed the first year. Most HIB's bloom the second or third year but mine have always bloomed the first year. Missjamiie I bought them @ Wal-Mart last spring on close out got last two they had for $5.00 ea. So far they have not produced a seed pod.

I've got my first blooms of the year--not counting my Johnny jump-ups that have had flowers on for a couple of months or so.

2 Yellow Mammoth crocus and 1 King of the Striped crocus.
