The warm sunshine this morning has encouraged my first daffodil to open.
A bit earlier than normal, but still no February daffs. I'm still waiting for my first Day 100 :-) Previous years: 2016 March 10th Day 70 2015 March 26th Day 85 2014 March 16th Day 75 2013 April 8th Day 98 2012 March 10th Day 70 2011 March 20th Day 79 2010 April 2nd Day 92 2009 March 15th Day 74 2008 March 2nd Day 62 2007 March 6th Day 65 2006 April 1st Day 91 2005 March 16th Day 75 2004 March 4th Day 64 2003 March 16th Day 75 The cold winters of 2006, 2010 and 2013 correlate with the late opening times. Most effect is the weather in Feb/Mar. Will -- " Some sects believe that the world was created 5000 years ago.

I now have what I think I recall my late father saying was a camellia in bloom in my garden (I'm no gardener myself), which is also ridiculously early. -- John Hall "Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or a stranger."

Interesting data if so. The trouble with people reporting their first daffs is that there are so many types. Some special types are bred for early flowering like the Cornwall and Scilly daffs. Others naturally flower late in the season. As regards Camellias, some types flower regularly at Christmas here in Wembury. In my garden it is usually February, but can be delayed by cold weather.

You have beaten me Wil. I have no daffodils out in my garden in High Wycombe. There are some out locally but not mine. My elevation is approx 180m which explains why.

I'm still waiting for my first Day 100 :-) Native wild daffs have been out for a couple of weeks now in my garden and surrounding fields. That's the earliest I've known since moving here. I even saw a bluebell in flower the other day, though it was in a very sheltered spot. The native bluebells in my garden still have a way to go before they'll be in flower. -- Nick Gardner Otter Valley, Devon 20 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk |
