Good evening all! Very disappointed with my #daffodil 'Green Eyes' again this year! At least last year they had a smidgen of green in the centre, but they seem to have reverted to yellow now! Another marketing gimmick methinks! Oh well! Think I'll stick with more traditional ones from now on! 😀

Erm. I might be colour blind. But it looks white and green to me. Still lovely though

@charlotte - It's supposed to be dark green according to the bulb packaging Charlotte! At least the petals are white this year! 😀

Evening Ian @bigemrg seems to be a lot of flowers have been changing colour recently or not the colour they were suppose to be, still pretty though 😍 oh & I took your advice with my grass the seed heads did come out very easily as you said will keep a check on it & pull any up if they appear Thanks for that Ian 👍

@jadojado29 - Good evening Suzie! Yeah, lots of Daffs and Tulips seem to be swapping colours this year, although these weren't right last year either! Glad you got the seed heads sorted! You won't have any problems as long as you keep on top of them! Mine tend to appear in early spring, then again around the beginning of autumn! 😀

Good evening all! I'm so disappointed with these #daffofil 'Green Eyes' that have just opened up today! They're supposed to have pure white petals and a green trumpet! Oh well, I'll be sticking with tulips next year! 😀

@pauline33 - Do you think so Pauline? I thought it looked a bit washed out! I guess I'll learn to love them! 😀
