Last Saturday, we visited the Arnosky Family Farm's Blue Barn, mostly to admire the fields of marigolds that Pam and Frank planted. It was also the third annual Texas Marigold Festival in Blanco. In addition to a marigold bouquet, we also bought nine daffodil bulbs – three of each of the varieties below. We planted them in the back yard. No, they're not native, but I enjoy having a few.
For his birthday this year, I ordered some black bearded iris rhizomes from American Meadows. He saw some in Arkansas and feel in love with the blooms. After they arrived in August, we stuck the bags in the refrigerator, then pulled them out last week to plant in the back yard (where the deer can't eat them). The varieties are 'Raven Girl' and 'Senor Jinx.' Fingers crossed!
UPDATE March 2, 2024 Blooms!
