SPRING IS IN THE AIR!!! Normally I am not a big fan of models folded from odd shape paper such as hexagons… but there must always be exceptions… like this magnificent daffodil by Ted Norminton (Classic Origami by Paul Jackson, available for less than 10US$, found diagram also online: www.flickr.com ). Not a real easy model to make but well worth the effort. The video also shows how to make the stem and a nice feature is that it can stand upright on its own! You can still make them from 12 cm squares but better use 15cm or bigger. I did not need the scissors myself of course … Enjoy! ; )

Daffodils have been really good this year and to me they seem to have flowered for a long time. They were early coming into flower because of the mild winter, but then the colder weather in March and early April seemed to slow them down again and the flowers lasted longer than normal. At least that’s what I think has happened in our garden! As the flowers of daffodils finish, the bulbs start to build up their food reserves for next year and you should always allow the bulbs to die down naturally. This means no chopping off of leaves or tying the foliage in knots as this reduces the amount of leaf area that is exposed to the sun which slows down the plants natural food making process. The general rule is to leave the foliage for around six weeks after flowering or until the leaves are turning yellow. Left to die down naturally daffodils should be fine, although there are a few more things that you can do to keep the clump healthy and flowering.
