Why are all the flowers dying?

I was on the bus and I passed all these flowers that seemed to be dying so early most of them daffodils do you know why?

Why are all the flowers dying?
They have finished their season. Daffodils in the Uk bloomed earlier due to the mild winter, early spring,therefore finished flowering earlier. It is now time to plant summer flowering plants/shrubs which should bloom till the first frosts,which hopefully will not be till October!
Reply:In the UK it is the opposite to the first 2 answers. Here we have had a very early Spring and the warmest April since records began. In the extreme South East we are also experiencing drought conditions. All of this has combined to fool the early spring plants into flowering early.


Where I am, in East Kent, the apple trees have been in bloom for the last week - at least three weeks earlier than normal - and the farmers are saying that the late spring vegetables are at least two weeks earlier than normal. Fresh local asparagus has been in the farm shops for the last week!


Yummeee but at least two weeks early!
Reply:Definately weather right there. We had 4 inches of snow a couple of weeks ago. Thats ridiculous. Snow in April?? Yeah. Crazy. I know. Cold weather does a lot of harm for flowers.
Reply:daffodils don't live the hot weather
Reply:its comming to the end of thier season so they will die off
Reply:Dandelions NEVER die on their own, unfortunately. The ones you refer to must have been sprayed with weedkiller.
Reply:Most of the spring flowers were out early this year (in the UK) because of the mild weather. Daffodils were blooming a lot earlier than normal (beginning of March I think).
Reply:Where were they? How has the weather been? National news has been reporting nasty storms that would cause havoc with flowers.
Reply:the weather is still cold out......this is the longest winter ever
Reply:its the end of there flowering period, they must be annual bedding plants
Reply:Depends where you are. Here in Sussex, the Daffs have died off and most people would have dead headed them by now, most of our Tulips have also finished. The roses are just popping out. So much is early it is worrying that there will be no flowers left for real summer.


Where I am we are expecting another drought order at anytime (the last went on for almost 24 months), which is very worrying as all the stored (1000lts) of rainwater we had has been used up due to the very dry weather over the last couple of months.
