narcissus update, Monday 1/9/17

1) six narcissus (plus two peppers and a spider plant), Monday, 9 January 2017


All six of them are doing nicely. Four are now blooming -- in fact, both of narcissus A's flower clusters are open -- and I think even C and F will get in on the act over the next couple days.

(For reference, and because I don't believe I've ever mentioned this before, the 'saucers' I use with my terracotta pots are actually the lids of old takeout containers, courtesy of my long and delicious relationship with Jade Garden, a local Chinese restaurant. This is what 'reduce, reuse, recycle' look like in action, folks. *wry*)

I love narcissus. They grew all over our back yard when I was a kid. Unfortunately, they don't seem to like the soil in our yard.

They really are gorgeous, aren't they? :)

I am hoping to plant these bulbs in my yard this fall so they'll bloom outdoors next spring, but the soil quality in my neighborhood can be a bit iffy (half of it is 19th century industrial landfill *sigh*), so we'll see if that pans out.
