Blooming Tuesday - Daffodils and Narcissus

I have bought one of those big (8 1/4" x 11 3/4") watercolor Moleskine sketchbooks.  I have always been afraid to do this because they are first of all expensive and secondly those big white pages scare the waddin out of me.  I decided to pull up my big girl britches and do the deed.  After having it awhile I decided that flowers in the garden would be the theme of this book.  Of course I have been known to fall off the theme wagon a time or two so we will see.

My first pages are about the daffodils and narcissus that are or have been blooming in the garden this spring. It is a little difficult to photograph something so large and it is way too large for the scanner.

After I did what I thought was all of the Daffodils then the Narcissus started blooming.  I wanted them all on the same page. You can see that some aren't finished.

If the heat of the day keeps it up I will be working more on art than working in the garden.  I am wanting to get all of the names for the different flowers on the page too.  The only bad thing about that is that I can't find the names of each one.  I have looked through garden journals and found that I am not a very thorough record keeper.  I am vowing to do better at that too.

I hope you all are having a good Blooming Tuesday.  What is blooming in your garden?

Blooming Tuesday - Daffodils

Daffodils have never been prettier than this year I do believe. I have kept a bouquet of them inside for several days. It has been wonderful to be able to pick fresh flowers from the garden. Happy Blooming Tuesday to all.
