'Miss Lindsay' and friend
These early bloomers are very attuned to dry spells and rain. Some are variable in bloom time, others hold quite steady. The earliest flowering to date has been the second week of November. Most bloom around the third to fourth week of November - lovely guests for Thanksgiving!
Many seem to be much older / earlier hybrids - they are not as refined, a bit starrier in form, etc. Some have notably narrower foliage and distinctively shaped bulbs (squat with very small necks). They bloom sequentially on tall stems, not making a large truss so beloved by daffodil exhibitors for the show bench.
Many are slow to multiply, but happily a few varieties readily divide. Too, some are quite beloved by the neighbors (pollinators).
