Each winter, I anxiously await the arrival of spring. Like so many others, I long for the sunny skies, warm days, and green grass to return. But, what I anticipate the most are the spring flowers popping up from under the surface of the ground. When the first green leaves appear, I know it won't be long before gorgeous blooms follow. Some of our favorites are the Narcissus varieties that we grow. Even so many of their names are enchanting -- Martinette, Delnashaugh, Golden Ducat...
Alas, their beauty is fleeting. Short lived but wonderful. Amazing enough to carry us through until the next spring, though!
