Standard size daffodils give perspective to the miniature variety
Sylvia reminded me that I had failed to include a photo of the miniature daffodils in my most recent post. There are some of them in the upper right (not far upper right) of this photo. To me they look the same, but smaller. Perhaps Sharkey can see more difference that that. She does have a well trained eye. I’ve learned a lot about plant identification by reading her blog.

I had also mentioned that there was only one snow drop blossom in view. Fortunately, that has changed.
Some of the many snow-drop blossoms
I had a very hard time trying to capture an in-focus image of snow drops. The ones in the lawn were most difficult and I even went out in the rain to try for better results. I’m disappointed, but wanted to share what I did get.
These beauties grow out in the yard
It appears I need to read the camera’s instruction manual. But I’m a guy, and guys don’t do that. Do we? Okay, I cheat some times and read instructions. It’s not as much fun, but is frequently less frustrating.
Personal Update
I had a 6-month follow up with my cancer surgeon (urologist) yesterday. Nothing disappointing or frustrating in that. Once again he reported “perfect” test results. We will continue monitoring. And praying.
Because of the swept back corolla, I’m thinking those minis are Jetfire. The flower in the yard is Striped Squill- Puschkinia libanotica. I used to have some, but I get really discouraged at how many things get eaten. Fortunately, daffs are poisonous.
Thanks for the identifications. We used to have some daffys with white parts, but I’ve not seen them for a couple of years now.
I always loved Michigan in the spring. The beauty of emerging flowers after long dreary winters just make the heart sing.
Yes, Verla it most certainly brings forth an enchanting melody.
We’re keeping you in our prayers!
Looks like spring has sprung up there. We’re running up to Peoria to see grandkids this weekend and are anxious to see spring.
Thanks for those prayers, Bill.
Spring has indeed sprung. The grass is [nearly] ris.
Enjoy your trip to be with family.
The 6-month checkup sounds super!!!! :clap: So happy for you & Sylvia!! God’s blessings are many!!! :yea: And we’ll continue to pray….
Thanks Joy. :tiphat: I particularly appreciate your prayers and the friendship that we’ve enjoyed for many years. 🙂
