photo above: proof that advertising, even in its simplest forms, is very effective indeed.
After a long day, running on 3 hours sleep, the potted mini-daffodils were a little present to myself. Unfortunately the weather network is forecasting snow later in the week. Oh well, [...]... | | By: ChiChaos | | |
| | Pheasant’s Eye Narcissus | | 2008-02-28 08:40:06 | | Pheasant’s Eye NarcissusI am posting this as a sign of hope for this spring. It was taken April 24th, 2004 with my 4MP Nikon 4300. This is one of my favorite Daffodils and in the scope of the Estate’s Daffodil collection blooms fairly late. I am going to try and shoot a few more daffodil pictures this spring as I noticed I don't have that many in the library. Each spring there are about 10,000 Daffs at work.We got another dusting of snow last night, which was something I could have done without. There is 2 to 4 inches predicted for Friday night now. There is a glimmer of hope for next week with some milder temperatures.Someone asked about Molly in the comments section yesterday. She has had a little setback as a large section of skin lost blood flow during the operation and has turned a disgusting shade of purple. It is oozing a little fluid also. I am taking her back to the vet to get her stitches out and have the doctor look at the skin patch. It is confirmed that she has cancer ... | | By: Digital Flower Pictures.com | | |

Paperwhites are native to the Mediterranean area and are hardy to USDA Zone 8. They are part of Division 8 (Tazetta) Daffodils which includes the bunch flowering Daffodils... | | By: Digital Flower Pictures.com | | |

| Narcissus 'Barrett Browning' | | 2007-04-27 12:22:00 | | Narcissus 'Barrett Browning'(nar-SIS-us)This is a nice classic type of Daffodil. The Daffodils seem fine after that crazy winter we had, it seems to be one of their finer years. The tips of the foliage got singed by the cold but on most types this really doesn’t take away from the flowers. ‘Barrett Browning’ is just one of the hundreds of types of Daffs blooming right now at work. It classified as division 3, which are small-cupped daffodils of garden origin. See more about the classifications of Daffodils on this previous post .I decided to take some Daffodil shots despite the fact the poor flower has been photographed practically to death. I tried a few abstracts with not much success. I have put myself on a bit of a picture diet. I am only allowing 48 pictures (I figure that is 2 rolls of film) per outing so I have try and make the abstracts count.This other picture is from a shrub that I saw at the NYBG. I featured Buttercup Winterhazel (Corylopsis pauciflora) awhile back ... | | By: Digital Flower Pictures.com | | |
