These daffs are always the first to open. With their long trumpets and swept back petals, they herald a fast-approaching Spring.
Yes, I know it's too fast and these babies may have a freeze or snow ahead of them. But it doesn't stop me from feeling a surge of delight when first I see them.
Or from taking far too many pictures.
Only a few days ago I was taking pictures of moss--which has its charms-- but these shots of yellow are so nice to see.
Despite a plethora of crocus foliage, we have at present only this one modest bloom up here at the house. Too shady? In need of thinning? Probably.

Joy is right. No sign of even leaves breaking the surface here.
The ladies of spring. I’ll get back to you in a few months. We don’t have daffs on our little property. we start with the tulips. But I;ll see them around.
Yes indeed. I chase other people's daffies...which proves I'm also a bit daffy!
Oh joy indeed! Our daffy have tall leaves and fat buds, but no flowers have opened yet. It won't be long! I look forward to a much better year, when I can actually spend some time outside in my garden. I have missed it terribly.
