Double Roman Jonquils

Double Roman Jonquils, originally uploaded by Pennie David.

According to my latest catalogue these are supposed to be 'Late' flowering Jonquils but every year they are up in April (which for us in the Southern Hemisphere is mid Autumn) and no where near Spring. These Jonquils must be more than 50 years old because we've lived here since 1971 and they were in the old well established garden back then... we've moved them over the years but they still pop up in the most unexpected places.
