Although we have not passed the winter equinox here in Australia, on this cool winter’s day out in the garden there is evidence of new life emerging.

The tips of the daffodil bulbs that I relocated are poking through the potting mix with their wonderful promise of spring. Perhaps they are a little slower in growing due to the move?

I have others in pots or in the garden proper.

Interestingly, there is one that seems to be streets ahead of the others in terms of development. Could it be the variety, its age, or the placement?

I look forward to that first daffodil, but it’s usually August before that happens, but you never know with all these freakish weather changes. It will happen when they are good and ready.
