Nice to see Fermi. Nylon looks really happy I don't find it easy at all.

Very nice Fermi. If our current "summer" continues we won't be seeing  flowers like this next year.

Thanks for showing some lovely daffs to brighten our very soggy days.

Hi Fermi
I am moving to Melbourne. Maybe one day when I am settled in I might look at purchasing some miniature daffs from you for next season  :)

Will arrive on Sep 7th-right at the start of spring :)
Shouldnt be hard to get a job there but no not moving for change of job. Moving to be with my partner-we were together for only 3 months here when she moved (which was planned before we met) and now well we both miss each other to much to stay apart.
I've had enough dramas here so time for a change and looking forward to it.

Best of luck, Kees.  You're not  the first travelling for a new life in Australia... and it's worked out ok for millions of others!  :)

Does anyone by chance have a spare bulb of Narcissus rupicola I've lost all my small stock. Willing to swop.

Hi
It is still winter here but our daffodils seem to think that they should be flowering. We are having one of our coldest winters on record but has not deterred the daffodils.
Kees if you are moving to Melbourne and want miniatures you can contact me for a list.
Some of my ancestors were from Aberdeen and other parts of Scotland (wherever Stewarts of Appin come from). They came to Canberra via New Zealand.

Hi Graham, nice to see your flowers - what is your lowest temperature so far this season?
