English grown Daff bulbs

I have no glimpses at all of any daffs! Yes, the stalks are pushing up but that’s it.You must have a warmer and sheltered garden.

My Welsh 😀 Daffs rarely bloom untill after 1st March ,

Leaves are about a ft tall but no sign of flower stalks.

I have quite a few out, but I do plant different strains so that I get flowering daffs from Dec/Jan through until May.

I really don't know whether mine are English or Dutch, but they're all at different stages of development. I put it down to where they are planted and the amount of sunshine they get. I quite like that as you think they're over and done with, another few pop up - makes Spring last longer. (Could do with a few in flower now - this is an awfully l-o-o-n-g winter!)

Thanks all. It will be interesting to see if there's any difference.

Plant some primula

Measured mine, 2 inches of leaf

I ve no idea what mine are either the leaves and some stalks up but only one in bud

I had to look at some pictures to find out the difference (and I'm still not sure). I think the traditional English ones are smaller - the ones that inspired Wordsworth!

I think mine are English and they are well up and in bud, but I hope they'll hang on a bit longer, perhaps the cold weather forecast for this week will stop them flowering just yet.

Well, I'm not going out in the cold with a tape measure

the crocuses are flowering though.

Wimp .Jalima 😀

Welsh daffodils are out

I am sitting next to the radiator.
I think 'nesh' is the word DM would have used.

Where BB, down South ? Not in this part

Yes nesh was my Mums word too Jalima, I had to go out there, Veruca Salt was digging and had turned deaf

Yes Anniebach in my garden in Carmarthen

BB! That is so unfair , why there and not here , think I will have a sulk, I usually have to buy them for 1st March

I bought some at the weekend, they were tight buds but now coming out and looking lovely.

I've got some snowdrops out and some of the crocuses that are in pots. A few of the daffodils are just poking their heads above the soil but no sign of any leaves or stalks yet. I'm in NW England and it's rained relentlessly here for weeks forever so I'm wondering if they're water logged.

Our crocii (!) are not up yet, only snowdrops and primroses in flower so far.Annieb is Veruca Salt the hired help?

I think she is Annie's new rotavator

I suspect the Dutch ones might be "forced" or just a different variety. The cut ones are probably polytunnel reared and I don't care.
I just love them at this time of year and I hope some hard working growers are making some money out of it.

When all my garden daffs finished last year I stood the pots at the bottom of my garden out of the way. They are growing away well now but whether they will flower again or not I do not know.

I think my garden is probably quite sheltered but the bottom of the garden where I have stored them, is possibly a frost hollow where all the cold air sinks down the slope towards the bottom fence.
I am not going out now with my wellies and warm coat to do any scientific measuring.
