Chemocurl ~~ she says there's only one bloom per stem. Yes, I know, but that Division #7 'usually' has more than one bloom per stem, but it is not all that uncommon for them to just have one bloom per stem. Suecirish, Are you pretty certain that most all, (or all) of them were single blooms per stem? I believe the coloring on your daff is a reverse bicolor, meaning the petals are yellow and the cup white. I know this is not your daff, but here is my Hillstar another bicolor. The pic is clickable, I think. I do know I want Pipit now! Whoo-Hoo! I can see we may have a new daff addict here soon. Hope so! Sue

foxesearth - so funny and so true! I usually put off buying the big bags of daffodil bulbs for naturalizing until October. By then, they either can be 1)marked down considerably 2) half of the bag will have dried up bulbs 3) store has pulled them from the shelves Right now Lowes has 80ct.bags of mixed daffs for $15.97 (?). Couldn't resist checking out WalMart's bulb selections this year - lots of bulbs but not much variety. They had bags of 12ct.Day Dream tulips for $4. Nice looking bulbs, too. I bought one bag, should go back and get a couple more at that price. If I order from bulb catalogs, something takes over; and I end up with a $200 order in no time. Sometimes I fill out an order form, maybe even stamp the envelope but never mail it!

Thanks for all the kind comments! Since these photos I was able to get a few more migration photos before the rain set in, but kept hoping I could get some more. We spent one weekend at a family reunion in IN, then worked out of town as extras in the Disney movie Secretariat during two very cold, windy weeks (long hours, miserable work, but at least I got to see John Malkovich and Diane Lane). This weekend coming up might have some sun, but I've not seen any migrants for awhile, so our migration action may be over.

Not surprised about your cam-we've not had one single IR cam work, and even our trusty Non-typical Cuddeback flash cam went beserk, altho I suspect animal tampering. The same day my cam broke, a neighbor's dog went beserk barking at dawn, so he turned it loose. Jeff said he and his two sons saw a "black panther" stick its head around the barn, give the dog one swipe across the face, then walk off into the woods without a backward glance. He said it had a "3 foot tail." I was nervous about our dogs, but he said the cat only attacked in self-defense and didn't kill the dog tho he had to 2 take it 2 the vet for stitches. I kept reminding myself that jaguars don't attack people last night while we were sleeping in our screen tent with front flap open when I kept hearing it (?) bawling in the woods behind our house. It happened 5-6 times over two hours time-each time all the dogs in neighborhood would go beserk. Luckily, none of our dogs are loose. I'm still waiting to get my cam back. Since most of the birds spooked and avoided the new chair blind, even tho it was hidden in the brush, I'm going to try out a new bird blind prototype invention idea this a.m. that should make me "invisible" and draw birds to me at the same time.
