the determination of daffodils
comments (0) March 19th, 2011 in gallery
After these old boots saw many miles (even got patched along the way) they found a more permanent residence near our front walk to greet other travelers. During the summer, they're surrounded by all kinds of color, and often sprout a trailing annual themselves.
This too-long-too-rainy Seattle winter they've sat lonely waiting for some of their perennial pals to make a showing. A small determined daffodil snuck up right between them for a great reminder that spring IS on its' way!

About this contest
In the garden, the signs of spring are subtle but significant. Snow recedes and brown turns to green as the weather warms and the daylight lengthens. Grab your camera and post a "spring awakenings" photo in this gallery by April 15 for a chance to win a prize.
Fine Gardening's staff members will choose a winner based on design appeal, creativity, and photo quality. The winner will receive a $100 gift certificate from White Flower Farm. See the Official Contest Rules for details.
