IVOM: Before the next freeze

We got down to 31°F on Friday and tonight's low is forecast to be 33°F, so I cut flowers for indoors all weekend. 

White daffodils are my personal favorites rather than the bright yellow ones. This is Narcissus 'Dreamlight' with the peach ruffle and N. 'Stainless' below it.

I trimmed our 'Tina' crabapple and decided to add my prunings to the arrangement. 

I bring many of these daffs indoors for bouquets since they are in the bed by the street where I barely see them. Thus I never feel bad cutting them. 

This is a mix of early Iris, Muscari and Epimedium 'Lilac Fairy' with Heuchera foliage.

Well, I was amazed by the white daffodils and don't remember seeing them before but then I reached the last photo - magnificent arrangement!

Both are beautiful but I really love the white arrangement. Sadly, all my daffodils are already gone - taken by our early heatwaves before some even flowered.

Wow, both of those arrangements are lovely. Those are classy daffodils!

Beautiful arrangements! I'm anxious now for these frosts to end. My plants are waiting to be planted. ;-)

BETH — I'm hoping we are done with frosts. Can't stand this on again/off again weather.

BARBARA — This is the best time of the year for bouquets.  And the cold weather has been a good excuse to cut things.

KRIS — My daffs are late varieties so it is always iffy if the weather will be too hot suddenly. This time it's the opposite.

These bouquets are lovely reminders of Spring. They look so fresh and delicate that it is sometimes hard to believe they make it through winter after winter.
