When we moved to AR, we planted daffodil bulbs in the front yard. Since we have been wintering in FL I have only gotten to see some of them bloom as we usually get back at the end of the bloom period. However, our neighbors tell us they enjoy them, even though we can't.
Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.
