At least here, in North Staffordshire and South Cheshire the daffodils
have excelled themselves. they are a picture everywhere and in gay
profusion. After a weird start they have come good!

I'm in Cheshire. My daffodils are all leaves, only a few flowers.

Our's are fine, been good around the area for weeks, just a tad
late for St Davids day.

My neighbour's lawn has a mass of dafs on it - usually. This
year there is quite a lot of leaves and only one flower. He is
new, and last year I suspect he may have cut the lawn too early
to allow the dafs to set properly. Previous occupant used to
cut round the groups.

Multiple banks of daffodils in north Bristol were in full flower in the
third week of February. As this was replicated only partially elsewhere
in the area, I'm wondering if they were an early-flowering variety.

I have 2 observations.

1 We have just spent a few days visiting family in the Minehead ares
and I was impressed in the displays of daffodils on the roadside banks
on the A39 between Minehead and Taunton with very few signs of the
flowers 'going over'

2 I live in Fareham (just outside Portsmouth ans have ab area which I
plantedc with clumps of daffodils of mixed varieties almost 20 years
ago. They have become established asnd this year began flowering before
Christmas. I have noted that this year the clumps have mostly flowered
with white varieties although there was a good mix of yellow and whites
originally. They ate planted in a bed which was not tyreated and I
have since found has a good layer of builders rubble a few inches below
the surface

Lucky you.

We planted some all around the edge of a round flowerbed last year. On
one side they've come up; on the other they have mostly vanished, and
the couple that have appeared have no flowers.

Could it be the wet soil?
