A Host of Golden Daffodils

At last the daffodils are all out in glorious bloom, all that hard work months ago in the cold pays off a million times (well perhaps not a million). But hopefully these will be enjoyed for many many years in the future.

New beginnings in the back.

It takes 3 years from seed to flowering at least so I have no idea what the flowers will look like. Hopefully some of the will be really nice.

Hopefully the path will recover and green up without too much intervention. I'm hoping to plant shrubs and spring bulbs and perhaps some autumn colour in these beds.

It took quite a long time and I don't think any children will ever help plant them again. Another new bed in progress on the left, again shrubs and spring and autumn colour.
