daffodils in California

**Saxon Holt s*@saxonholt.com**

Since Nan's original question concerned a friend who wanted to plant 
daffodils in Novato, CA  I can not resist jumping in since I actually 
live in Novato.  (I am still planting bulbs too - or would be if this 
rain would stop...)

I can't resist jumping in because not only have my paper whites (Ziva) 
been blooming since Thanksgiving - which is not news, BUT one of my 
yellow trumpets has finished !  I can not be sure which one because 
they are in a bed with some other "extras"  from years ago.  (Yes, yes 
, I confess I do not keep as good records as I should...)  It may be 
Rijnveld's Early Sensation but those are opening today (I just walked 
out)  in a marked bed and seem to be a bit more glaucus leaf.

wait a minute! , did I say it has just stopped raining ???  gotta get 
out of this office and get those last bulbs planted ... and that big 
tree branch that came down on top of my new veggie beds must be cleared 
... and I just HAVE to cut back the roses, Cornelia and Tournament of 
Roses need a rest ... and the 8 yards of mulch that was delivered the 
day before the rains started still awaits me ... and the rains bring 
weeds ... gotta go  ....  send
