All my neighbors’ daffodils have been blooming for weeks. But mine are being stubborn. Did I plant their bulbs to deep? Did I forget to put them in sunny spots? Should I have dosed them with bone meal last autumn? I’ve been impatient with them. I was tempted to beat them with a cane and command them to bloom, as W.C. Fields used to do with his rose bushes. I’ve watched over them this last week or two as their heads have ever so slowly grown tall, gone pale and bowed down. Finally this morning the first of them opened up. Hallelujah!
