This colorful arrangement contains camellias, Walter's viburnum, loud orange blueberry foliage & early blooming dafs.

First let me apologized for being MIA for the last 6 weeks or so.

I have been in the process of moving.

Fortunately just next door so I still have access to both gardens.

This weekend my dear friend J’Lynn came for a visit.

To celebrate –  I made one of the first flower arrangements in the new house.

I do love the daffodils.  Last year I ordered some new Narcissus tazetta hybrids from Bill the Bulb Baron .

These hybrids are supposed to bloom early – some in fall and others in early winter.

I am still discovering what they will actually do in Mississippi.  But… as you can see in my kitchen window arrangement, at least a couple are blooming very early as advertised.

'Autumn Pearl' & 'Princess Hallie's Gold'

The white flowered narcissus is ‘Autumn Pearl’ and the yellow (I believe) is ‘Princess Hallie’s Gold’.

I wondered when I ordered these bulbs if I was pushing the envelope too much.

Is it against God to have daffodil flowers in the fall?

Will it make me appreciate them less during daf season?

I don’t know but the gleaming pair in my kitchen window two weeks before Christmas make me ridiculously happy.

Thanks to you, Bill the Bulb Baron!
