And great quantities of squashed daffodils were revealed. Those that can will perk up. Great quantities of daffodils in reserve will still come into bloom. Our guest would have seen perkier daffodils last Friday.
There was one incredibly rare sighting on our stroll today, the garden blogger in situ.
It is such a rare sight, it will be repeated now, because it won't be happening again anytime soon.
"This big rock does all kinds of interesting things."
The freeze, as is often the case, was hit or miss. All the iris seem unfazed. Daylilies and hellebore got a bit singed. The next two days will tell more about what plants have the vagaries of spring hardiness. Spring can be beautifully cruel.
Unperturbed, spring will just move on. The gardener did offer a few items some protection. The new Mukdenia rossii 'Crimson Fans' were waking up and loaded with flower buds. I did not like the idea of them freezing. Both were covered with leaf litter and then nicely covered again by a thick blanket of snow for this morning's low of 17. They look like they made it.
I try not to be perturbed, but I do like my daffodils perky.

Nothing worse than daffs that aren't perky.
Enjoyed seeing you in your garden.
The big rock looks like it is magical. That is some wicked icecicles and moss.
Lisa that rock is the size of a small school bus and is covered with moss and cool lichens and has all kinds of things growing on top.
Sure liked seeing you in your garden. Love that big ole rock. It sure makes things interesting. Sorry for the cold snow.
Lola that big rock is just a ways down from the chimney and the stream actually runs beneath it. On the downhill side it looks like a big spring coming from under the rock.
