Daffodil Time

 I bought two bags of daffodil bags from Thrifty's supermarket in September 2015. Each bag contains 40 daffodil bulbs. I planted the 80 daffodil bulbs in October 2015 and now...

 The daffodil plants yield their pretty yellow flowers in March 2016 which is due for spring time, so radiant, so dainty and bright. Carlton and trumpets yield on the garden. Trumpet daffodil is another species of Narcissus and also is named mount hood. Weird!? Coincidence in today's time and events?

 This is the specie of narcissus daffodil - carlton. Looks like a buttercup.

 I had it photographed in a different angle and it looks like a fresh cattleya, a rare orchid. Who knows, could be cattleya was hi-breed through this species of daffodil.

Narcissus daffodil - sempre avanti. This hybrid bloomed in clusters.

I'm still waiting for the yield of some other variety of daffodils on our garden. I don't know when they will bloom, takes time of course.

Just in case you are that curious there are so many variety or species of daffodils such as: Chungking, Barrett Browning, Double Mary Copeland, Silver Chimes, Treviathian, Old Pheasant Eye, February Gold is the same or almost similar specie with Carlton daffodil.

Now who wants the lady's slippers? You could walk through the Butchart's Garden in Victoria if you want to view thousands of floral and spend your time doing the recreation walk ... if they are open for viewing.

In Japan, Japanese recreation maze is a much needed form of relaxation for the tired, overworked people. People can go inside the maze for a leisure walk of thinking, going in circles or snapping pictures. I wish have that kind of garden to walk and enjoy nature at its best.
