I don't think that the daffs are ahead of schedule. I always have afew by the south side of the house open much earlier than the rest, it is a very sheltered spot. Then those ones out in the front (pics posted March 24th on this thread) are of early daffs Rijnveld's Early Sensation which I only planted last fall, I put 100 in by that trellis. There must be some of them in the daff mix too as some are blooming on the other side.
