Good afternoon all! My #bestofapril have to have been the many and varied types of #daffodil blooms that have brightened up the early springtime garden this year! Just wish I knew which variety all of them were! 😀

@cyndi - Thanks for the links Cyndi, they'll probably be very useful! Would be a lot more helpful if the sellers of mixed bags of bulbs would list the possible varieties contained in the bag! 😀
