@rosemarya That history really does make those daffodils special. I love daffodils in the spring, more than tulips because tulips loose their petals so quickly. I haven't seen any daffodils in the stores here yet. I've given up trying to grow them in the yard because the chipmunks or whatever eat the bulbs.

@contentandwell You give me too much credit! I stick them in the ground - they come up. That's another reason to love them:-) Sometimes they bloom at the same time as the red bud tree and the tulips, now that is a beautiful sight. They are actually arranged on top of an old rock pile left by builders before we ever lived here.

@glinda, I will try to locate that photo later and send it to you.

@rosemarya Do you take them out in the fall and replant in the spring? I have never done that, and have not heard of doing it. Of course that is good defense against the bulb-eating creatures.

@contentandwell, I do not take them up. Perhaps if they were a special variety I might consider it, though. I am not a gardener, but I do stick things in the ground - it is their choice whether or not to grow!

@rosemarya I thought when you said you just put them in the ground that maybe you did that each spring. I have never taken any bulbs up either. One year I planted an extensive display of lily flowering tulips, they were beautiful. The next year NOTHING. I was so disappointed. Darned little rodents.

Hi @rosemarya

I love your philosophy of gardening: "but I do stick things in the ground – it is their choice whether or not to grow! "
