I hope you enjoy today’s video which is a tour of all the beautiful daffodils (Narcissus) I bought from Farmer Gracy in the Netherlands and planted out in 10 groups of 10 bulbs in October last year. And I have been so delighted with them, and look forward to them all naturalising, multiplying and spreading in the years to come. They are:
Carlton
Mondragon
Sunlover
Manly
Ascot
Double Mixed
Dutch Master
Acropolis
Professor Einstein

Hi there everyone, I thought I would take you on a very very quick
tour of my spring bulbs because they are looking just
beautiful and I planted 500 spring bulbs back in October time
from Farmer Gracie. I've never ever ever had
daffodils before so I planted 10 groups of 10 different varieties
and they're beautiful and of course the beauty with daffodils
is they will naturalize and they will come back every year
providing that I keep the leaves cut the spent flowers off but keep the
leaves that's the bit I'm not looking forward to because I don't like it
looking untidy but that the leaves have to soak up the sun and
put the goodness back in the bulb so you have to be
patient and let it do its thing. Tulips on the other hand I treat as
annuals and I have had red impressions
and I had a yellow emperor. Yellow emperors were very frothy although the
flowers were gorgeous. I still have orange ones ready to come up
and the bit I'm most excited about is the alliums which won't be until May or
June time so let me just show you the quickly the
varieties of daffodils because they're beautiful.
Here is the first of my daffodils that is just a trumpet shape and it's a
beautiful yellow and they are so pretty
and delightful they're moving around here you can see all my red tulips
are looking lovely as I say the yellow ones have gone but look at these
these are just divine a beautiful double frilly
wonderful and it's got sort of peach scent I hope that's coming up
nice in the picture that is very very nice
and a very similar one here but more yellowy
are these absolutely beautiful I'm really enjoying these they're moving
on to some more frilly doubly ones
these are more white with the orange centre they are beautiful
we pan around we're faced with tulips now these ones were the very first ones
to bloom so they're the first to go and I will deadhead them but all I will do
is take off the very tip so I'll leave all these stalks
leave them to get all the goodness moving on these ones just such a happy
sunny thing to open the door and there they are
in the morning these are beautiful as well
and it's good for me actually to see this video because it will remind me
where I've planted them so I can plant annuals over the top
but I don't want to dig up any bulbs and I don't want to plant
shrubs on top of them so they're all doing very very well
as I say we have these ones that haven't opened will all be orange which I think
will be very pretty just a few more here this type
this one looks like it's fading a little bit
that's been very pretty these are beautiful so pretty
these beautiful ones are called minnow and I planted those with some pansies
very very pretty oh I must just show you not
daffodil or tulip related but look I have blossoms on my stellar
cherry which I am just over the moon about
have some more tulips in pots as well you can see how floppy the yellow ones
were I've pulled most of the yellow ones out
obviously I've missed those so there we are and I have a few more in pots
that needs a bit of a tidy because they were the yellows we have
drumstick alliums these are the drumsticks
but I'm told they're quite floppy unfortunately
these are purple sensation alliums they will look nice another little
plantiful this one doesn't get any sun actually
this one and then we have these these are the oh these are beautiful
so pretty these are the double mixed so this was a whole variety of different
beauties oh that's a pretty one
so it certainly filled the whole garden with
wonderful color this spring and I'm very pleased but I planted so many
beautiful daffodils why did it take me so long
to plant some so there we are I hope you enjoyed my very very quick
whistle stop tour it's a Monday morning it's about
10 past seven and I've got to go to work today
but I wish you a very very good week whatever you're doing
and take care have fun in your gardens I'm Jeanette
I'm The Enthusiastic Gardener thank you for watching
bye
