A trip across the river from Vancouver into Oregon found a few folks selling daffodils from the roadside. A beautiful sight after a gray winter. Above you can take your pick of flowers for $2.00 a bunch. Such a deal to bring springtime into your home.

Mine are blooming today...but it is snowing!!
ReplyDeleteI hope the snow does not pack down the stems of your daffs. They are hardy so I imagine they will be fine. hard to imagine you are having snow!!! -- barbara
DeleteThat is a pretty good deal. Winter has been so bleak for so many of us.
ReplyDeleteMichelle --Today I was startled when I looked at the weather for central KY on the weather website. Tonight the prediction is 18 degrees.. How can that be possible!!! -- barbara
DeleteWonderful. Lucky you. I am very jealous. We're awaiting yet one more snow storm.
ReplyDeleteJune -- I saw on the weather channel tonight that you were having another snow storm. Amazing how these storms keep coming through. Someone better tell mother nature it is almost April. -- barbara
DeleteOH MY!!! You found color. Nice.
ReplyDeleteOne Fly -- Hopefully you have spring color out your way. It seems that when spring starts to bloom every color is found in trees, shrubs and plants, Nice time of the year. -- barbara
DeleteThe entire scene is encouraging.
ReplyDeleteJoanne -- it is right around the corner -- spring that is. I know the calendar says it is spring but mother nature doesn't read. -- barbara
DeleteI bought two bunches last night and this morning I woke up to them in full bloom! Like star bursts!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't a spring bouquet brighten the spirits! Liked how you describe your daffs -- like star bursts. I agree with that -- thanks -- barbara
DeleteThat's terrific! And I agree, all the spring color is a welcome change.
ReplyDeleteMelissa -- I feel we in the Pacific NW are rather fortunate right now having all this color around us -- the eastern part of the country is still battling winter type storms! thanks -- barbara
DeleteI envy you those. We have had a mild winter, but her they won't bloom hust yet.
ReplyDeleteRune -- soon they will and with them will bring glee -- barbara
DeleteNothing says spring like daffodils!
ReplyDeleteVicki -- Yes I agree -- they spring up all over vacant green areas around here as volunteers. thanks -- barbara
DeleteVery nice. I wonder if my daffodils with be poking through the snow drifts anytime soon? Nah.... they're too sensible for that...:)
ReplyDeletetroutbirder -- From what I see with the depth of your snow drifts I doubt they will be seen now but perhaps in a few days if the sun shines 24/7. Hope for the best. thanks -- barbara
Deleteunable to have a garden, i practically swoon at the very thought, of roadside daffodils. and....$2.00 a bunch.
ReplyDeleteexcellent sharing.
Sandra -- I have always stopped at flower stands along the road that are selling fresh flowers from their garden. Their is an invisible link between gardener and the buyer. So much more personal than buying at a flower shop in a grocery store. thanks for stopping and hope you will be back. -- barbara
DeleteThat'll be the only way spring makes it here for a few more weeks. STILL more snow than grass.
ReplyDeleteBirdman -- build a snowman in your yard and put a bouquet of fake flowers in its hand and pretend its spring -- thanks -- barbara
Deleteps I just noticed the remnants of nice yellow paint on your wooden bench. That's a nice picture, I do like the naturally worn look of old things.
ReplyDeleteclaggle -- I've lived with old primitive worn furniture and accessories since I was in my twenties -- to me it warms up a home -- maybe that is why you like them too. thanks -- barbara
DeleteSo much pleasure in these bunches (or bundles)! And that little red wagon is part of the pleasure in your photos. I wonder if you got to meet the growers of these happy flowers...
ReplyDeleteRita -- I did not get to meet the growers although they apparently lived on this property. I was on a time schedule that day so I had several stops yet to make. And being that I am a talker I I would have put my schedule into another time zone. thanks -- barbara
DeletePS Two things: Don't you just love this bit of private enterprise? And, I actually saw some crocuses yesterday, growing in the real ground, here in Maine!
ReplyDeleteRita -- I love private enterprise. I once had my own private enterprise. I suppose that is what you are with your art. Enjoy your crocuses! -- barbara
