oh no, Ann, I wouldn't dare try! You are making an absolutely incredible field; you'll see, someday. I can only encourage you.
Seriously, we (collectively, as people in this country) waste far too much money on other things with significantly less return on the investment than daffodils!

Anthony, that bug bit me years & years ago when we lived up this far north in Fl. but west of Tallahassee. There were jonquils that had, I'm sure, once been in someone's gardens long ago. When we lived there, they had naturalized along the roadside. My dh & I both fell in love with them. I dug some up & planted them at our place there. They were charming, yellow with yellow cups & so beautifully fragrant. I asked the locals what they were & they could only say "jonquils" but did not know the cultivar. But then we moved back to south Fl. where daffs will not grow so I had to forget about them.
Now we are again far enough north in the state that they can become a reality again.

I love that one in your photo!

My problem is that I have to make choices. Hilarious! Hilarious! I can't buy them ALL. Thumbs down

Do you have a pic to refresh my memory please?

Well I finally finished up my daff ordering.

Besides the ones I already mentioned, I'm getting
50 Avalanche
100 Jonquilla Simplex
100 Quail

That's going to make around 300 bulbs for me to plant.

Of course I want more! Hilarious! Hilarious!

I keep telling myself next year, next year, next year......
