Overnight results

By morning's light can be seen a half-dozen of the first Ice Follies, four deep-blue Dutch hyacinths on the oak motte (some years these aren't heard from at all; seldom are they the first hyacinths of any kind), yet another kind of poet's narcissus, with very long stems, very small flowers with a short, wide pointed perianth, many more of our Montopolis and Bastrop narcissi, and one old-fashioned single jonquil, which will probably be truly open by the end of the day. There are three varieties of left-over trailing nasturtium in pots; pale yellow, saffron, and an in-between shade that's doubled.
