Default Daffodils

Is it my imagination, or do the daffodils seem to be hanging on for longer
this year? It seems to me that the ones in our garden and the thousands
along the hedgerows here are around for longer than usual - I'm happy to
say.

Don't know about last year because we didn't come back to the UK from our
World Cruise until the end of March. However they were a riot of colour in
our garden then, but when they started I don't know. Sometime between
January 7th when we left for our World Cruise from Southampton to when we
returned 3 months later on March 29th.

Certainly out in the hedgerows of the Isle of Wight for a very long time now
this year.

I think it's just that they started earlier with the mild winter. On the Yorkshire coast, last year, they opened 2nd and 3rd weeks in March. This year we have had them since mid Feb. Of course we are not as mild as Devon or IoW.

Yes, probably because it's turned colder again.
