First Daffodil of 2018


For several years, I  have been keeping track of the date my first daffodil blooms.   This year, it was Sunday, 2/18/18.  This flower is not completely opened, but close enough.   This variety is called February Gold, and it is usually the first to bloom in my yard. 


2012                  before 2/1/12
2013                  2/21/13
2014                  3/10/14
2015                 3/13/15
2016                  2/4/16
2017                   2/19/17

If the weather cooperates and stays cool, I will have daffodils for 2 1/2 months.  If it gets too hot, they will be gone sooner.
