Pink and White Daffodils

White Daffodil with Pink Trumpet

I've grouped together the two different varieties of the pink and white daffodils which I grow - this colour combination is so beautiful and subtle.

Walking around the spring garden I often wonder if I should relocate all the pink toned flowers into one colour themed garden bed. Many garden design books warn of buying bags of mixed bulbs.

Bags of Mixed Bulbs

These beauties all came from some large bags of mixed daffodils I bought from the David Bell Daffodil farm. It's surprising that any of them flowered at all - the new owner naively mixed them up in a concrete mixer, not realising that they might get damaged (sounds like something I'd do).

It was a great chance for a budget gardener to purchase 1000 of this special mix for half price! Many were planted along the fence-line by the road. They are a lovely sight in early spring, welcoming me home if I've been away.

The daffodils from David Bell are not too tall, so they're not as affected by the occasional gusty spring winds. Strong stems are important in the Moosey Garden.
