I suppose there are benefits to having those longer winters up north, but I bet you will be happy when the snow thaws and the flowers bloom. <br /><br />Bow does seem to know a lot of things about what is edible that I don't. He never stops teaching me new things!<br /><br />And yes, I, too, learned a new flower name from Julia: crocus.

They're so pretty and I had no clue to what they were called until I saw Julia's comment. Now I know :)<br />Interesting I never knew that the stem was edible. Thanks Bow for letting us know this.

I am not sure if these daffodils are wild. I did not plant or tend them, but the bulbs may have been planted by the previous owners of the property.Aya Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830585801297506770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974406546323301344.post-78514884495575510752015-03-21T03:59:40.121-07:002015-03-21T03:59:40.121-07:00I think perhaps he found the stem tasty?
