Gibbs Garden opened two week early due the the warmer weather causing the daffodils to blossom early.  I understand that there is about a 3-4 week period that the daffodils will cycle through Gibbs Gardens due to the species and other conditions.  As the familiar Chicago mantra says, "Go early; Go often!"  I know... it is "Vote early; Vote Often!"

There are some 20,000,000 daffodils, which reproduce themselves yearly.  I forgot how many different varieties are there.

F/Y/I: The last picture is of a Crepe Myrtle.  I know that it does not relate to the daffodils, but I liked the shot.
