I wanted to share with you all my beautiful Erlicheer Jonquils. So far these last 3 weeks I’ve picked 18 dozen. So I’m up 4 dozen on last year. I’ve only got maybe 2 dozen left to pick over the next couple of days. My kitchen smells divine!!

Gorgeous, Chris...wish I could smell their sweet perfume!

I wish you could too! They are delicious. Love Chris

They are lovely. You must have a tremendous bed where they grow to harvest that many blooms! Do they last very long once cut? OH and you had to rub in the "sweltering" bit? Our temps are 100+ degrees. And will stay there or upper 90's from now until September. Hugs. Nan

Hi Nan, yes, I've got stacks and stacks of them along the front fence. They last for days in the vases.
Oh! my goodness with your heat. We have dreadful heat here in Australia during our summers, I'm not looking forward to it. Love Chris

What a beautiful flower you have grown. I have never seen this flower. Masks are now a part of life sad but true.

Good for you, they are just so beautiful. Love Chris

Beautiful! I usually have 3 or 4 - - NOT dozens, just 3 or 4 blooms. 😂 Know they smell heavenly.

Thanks Karen, yes I love them and can't wait for Spring as the Daffodils will come out. I've got Wallflowers, Freesias, (yellow and white), Nemesias, Violets (native ones too), Hyacinths, Bluebells, Marigolds, Lobelias, Bacopas and a lot of other little plants, plus 3 White Iceberg roses and 2 yellow ones, a climber and a small one called Soul mate. Love Chris

These are stunning!!! Your garden must be a wonder!!! I do not have a green thumb! But, here are some of my Hydrangeas that grow on their own - if I did anything to it - it would probably die, I am sure. Well done sewing masks for others - that is a wonderful thing to do!! Hugs, Laura

Oh! these are beautiful Laura, I've got a deep pink one in our backyard, which Trevor bought not realising it was pink. I don't have any pink in my garden, it's all blue, purple, yellow and white. Love Chris

I have only ever heard of these flowers. I have never seen them. They are absolutely beautiful. Thank you for showing us.l

Thanks Angie, I agree with you. Loe Chris

They are beautiful. I don't have any experience with this type of flower. You must have quite the garden to get so many!

Hi Debbie, yes I love gardening and have planted a lot of pretty 'smelly' flowers in my gardens. Love Chris

What a beautiful bounty! I love Jonquils. Right now we're busy harvesting homegrown tomatoes and sweet peppers. The best thing about our sweltering summers! 😓🍅😋
