Not too bad for the last show of the year!

Catalogues have been posted to UK and EU customers. USA peeps Dave is bringing yours with him to Minneapolis- if you're not able to make the convention he'll post them to you from there. Anyone wanting to can place orders with Dave this week- he's looking forward to seeing you all soon. Website is live so you can order on there too!!!

After an exhausting but exhilarating weekend of helping to entertain members of the RHS bulb committee and participating in the Belfast spring show/RHS late show at malone house where we competed against some amazing flowers we are spending today packing and posting your catalogues!!

Photos from the garden today, the sun is shining and it's keeping me away from the finishing touches to the website. But the catalogue has gone to the printers this morning, so I'm rewarding myself with a wander around the flowers.

The new website is coming along a treat. A bit more tweaking and its done!!The new website is coming along a treat. A bit more tweaking and its done!!

Cutting flowers for enniskillen and Derry shows this weekend- before another hailstorm wrecks them, but the sun is shining for now. #lifeisgood #daffodilgirl #businesslife

Drum roll please... The winning name has been selected, verified by the RHS and it is... WINTERFELL. Congratulations to Derek Elliot on suggesting the perfect name for our newest 3W-W.

We have trawled through all the wonderful suggestions and comments for names- we didn't want to miss any out. We have one selected but we'll let you know as soon as the RHS have confirmed that we can use it! (It's very strict.)

Top of the mornin'to you and Happy St Patrick's day to all we know; those who enjoy a wee celebratory drink today; and any who think they might be Irish because they like Guinness! Lol Don't forget that today is the last day to enter our 'name the daff' competition! Make sure you complete all the steps to have your suggestion count!

Daddy and Lynnea surveying and discussing the damage caused by the wind and hail stones we've had over the last week. Nature or nurture debate- look at the hand holding and foot resting on the other one- identical!!!
