Flowers
I am completely baffled as my flowers are starting to bloom this spring. The fall that we first lived here, I planted daffodils along one wall of my fenced-in patio. I planted classic yellow ones and white ones with pink centers. The following spring, when they bloomed, those were exactly the colors I got. The next year, come spring when they bloomed, I had maybe only 2 or 3 yellow flowers and the rest were white with pinkish-orange centers. I thought "cool - I made hybrids"! ( I had piggy-backed the bulbs, so this wasn't too surprising.) Now it's spring again and they're starting to bloom. Every one of them...classic yellow!! Not a white one among them! Granted, I'm somewhat new to the gardening thing....but this has me stymied!! I will say, after last years odd colored ones, I'm glad I didn't change my irises!! I had considered interspersing my purple ones with the rust color ones that I think are gorgeous. But if they were to mix colors like my daffodils did last year....I'd end up with mud-colored irises - yuck!!! Wonder how my tulips will look this year.....I planted a bunch of different colors of those that first fall!!
