{Our fragrant 1916 heirloom Thalia - latest of our Daffodils}

Spring has come with such a force, that we almost went straight into summer... The magnolias got browned by frost in early February but for the rest we've enjoyed lots of blooms. The latest performers of the Daffodil Season were our white Thalia Daffodils, like the 'wings of an angel' and also called the Orchid Narcissus. Certainly one of the loveliest of all daffodils. You can order them in the fall at McLure & Zimmerman ←click it. As an added bonus, they're also highly fragrant and they bloom with two or more flowers on each stem.
Do you favor white or yellow daffodils?
Too bad that in our area there will be none left for the Easter Season...

  1. Hello Mariette,

    Your Thalia Daffodils are very lovely... and they bloom with two or more flowers on each stem, I think that's great!

    Have a nice weekend!

  2. Hi Mariette, beautiful daffodils! I confess that although I love the flowers, i dont now most of these, but the best thing here is that I always end up knowing a little later to visit you and read your beautiful post, on various flowers, greetings. Rose M.

  3. My dear Mariette,
    I'm so happy you are sharing your flowers with me. We are getting another dump of snow this evening. No spring flowers yet for me. :(
    Wishing you a happy weekend!

  16. Lieve Mariette,

    Wat leuk om te horen en te zien dat bij jullie de lente ook heeft ingezet! Bij ons is het eigenlijk veel te warm voor de tijd van het jaar, maar wij genieten met volle teugen! Heerlijk om weer meer buiten te zijn en de tuin langzaam aan te zien opbloeien!

    Een fijn weekend,

    Madelief x

  17. Dearest Mariette, Tis a shame that many of the early flowers will be gone by Easter. You daffodil is beautiful and does indeed look like an orchid. I love both colors and I have a collection of pink daffodil. I think they are really more of a peach but they are lovely. I should get out there and take a pic, then I better stay inside.
    Blessings, have a great weekend. Ginger
