{Ehrlicheer & Sweetness Daffodils on my Birthday}


  • For my birthday breakfast yesterday, my Pieter did surprise me with some home grown fragrant Ehrlicheer and Sweetness Daffodils. 
  • Since I barely got off the phone, only in the afternoon I had time to make some photos. Because it was a dark and dreary looking, but mild day 59°F or 15°C, compared to 76°F or 24°C on Sunday, making photos was not that easy. So I had to use the flash... 
  • Nevertheless these pretty blooms are so early that I would love to share them with you as well; sans fragrance! 
  • We never have had spring this early and also our magnolias are blooming. Almost would have to change the Garden Tour info to Book an Event.
The Sweetness Daffodils are arranged in a vintage Wedgwood cream ware on cream ware vase.
The very fragrant Ehrlicheer daffodils are in a white rounded vase.
Each stem bears multiple blooms!
Hope you liked these Ehrlicheer & Sweetness Daffodils.

♥♥
Today is my brother Harry's birthday but sadly though he is still in the ICU...
It is also my Parents' 63rd Wedding Anniversary.

Thanks to all the birthday wishes that I got yesterday on FB and on my blog!

  3. Liebe Mariette,
    Pieter weiß, wie er dein Herz erfreut. Die Narzissen sind wirklich herrlich. Ich hoffe, du hast deinen Ehrentag schön verbracht. Das ist eine ziemliche Dichte an Feiertagen um diesen Termin. Ich drücke deinem Bruder die Daumen, dass es bald besser wird.
    Schöne Grüße, Johanna

  4. Lieve Mariette,

    Nog gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag! Hopelijk had je een fijne dag gehad.

    Bij jullie is het al voorjaar met die narcissen en temperaturen. Hier is het het iets frisser +3 graden, maar zeker warmer dan het nu in Nederland is...

    Een fijne dag,
    Sandy

  10. Dear Mariette, happy belated birthday to you. And healthy healing wishes for your brother on his birthday. 63 years for your parents is certainly a wonderful accomplishment. All the best to them as well. Congrats to the winner of your giveaway. Your daffodils are so pretty. Much of nature and wildlife is a bit confused with the changing of the seasons, especially in places where there's been barely a winter at all. Have a wonderful week. Tammy

  12. Oh my sweet friend how did I miss your birthday? Happy belated birthday!! 63 year anniversary, your parents are a wonderful example what love is. Your sweet dear brother, to be in the hospital during his birthday ~ I know the feeling ~ as much as I detested being in there through birthday, Christmas and New Year ~ I was happy to still be. Your brother is strong and he IS going to come through this even stronger.xo

    Once again you have taught me something .. I honestly do not think I have seen of heard of Ehrlicheer, they are brilliant. your magnolia tree is blooming!! How exciting ... we have a small one and it is a marvelous sight!

    Pieter is a sweetheart to be keeping you smiling through all that you are facing. Love to you both and again Happy Belated Birthday!! xo HHL
