Yes, daffies don't last long enough, that's for sure! They are UP and then they are GONE!

HAVE: Daffodils for Daffodils

I know you may not have any left now, but if you are interested I have lots of paper whites in my horse pasture. They are blooming now in sunny locations and not yet in bloom in slightly shadier. They bloom later than all of the rest of my narcissus. I'm always looking for flowering bulbs and tubers I don't already have that suit my zone and soil. I really need to make a wanted and trade list!

what to do with small daffodil bulbs?

I would plant them immediately where you want them to grow. They will remain dormant until the fall, but at least they won't dry out. I find that I forget about things left in pots. Besides, what you do now, you won't have to do in the fall when its cold, wet and rainging!

Do you have a standard 'small talk' opener?

I guess I should have been more clear. I actually know who most of these people are, but I don't know anything about them really. So it's not a case where I'd have to introduce myself or ask who their spouse is, but just need to search for something to chat about. I like the idea of opening with a compliment! I usually ask about any travel plans for the holidays so that's a good one, too. DH told me we are expected to sit with different people than we usually sit with this year, so that made me stress a little. Usually, after a drink, I'm better at being chatty! awm, had to chuckle at your comment. I'm feeling like a cow, too. Really wish I could go to this party wearing sweatpants and a fleece top. It is SO cold here today. I hate dressing up when it's cold. But I got a mani/pedi today, so I'm feeling a little more festive!

SIRIUS, YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION! you're the one with the tiny garden path and the recognizable hosta leaves... and all those teeny but perfect holly leaves at the base of your Christmas tree! MM, I know exactly what you mean and it's one of those deal breakers for me when trying to use plate shards, I end up no where neat enough with my interstices too wide and not enough surface to grout ratio - I hate my little blue tea set because of that! If I could apprentice under Tasymo for 6 months to a year, I'd be thrilled!

Maybe so but they are UP not eaten. Mine multiply so fast I have not been able to give them away fast enough. I can just throw them along my road in the winter and they somehow plant themselves and bloom in the spring. My herd of deer enjoy looking at them, not eating them. We have county roads here where they have been established for many years and make a beautiful drive in the spring. Al

I'm with Al - I love daffs because they and the local wildlife can peacefully coexist. Linking some shots I took of all different varieties out at Ironstone Vineyards, CA.

The pictures are so nice Faerygardener! I've got a few Daffodils popping in the rose bed and right underneath my big pear tree. They look nice but do they multiply fast? Will they impact my pear tree?

Hah, Barb! Very cute. And I'm with Al. LOVE those daffs! We have a couple of yards we walk by that are full of naturalized daffs, my neighbor across from me in fact, has a small south-facing slope on the front side yard that is filled with daffs. 3 of us gals walk evey morning and have so enjoyed seeing the flush of daffs. My next door neighbor, who walks with me and I are going to plant a bunch in our front yards so folks walking by can enjoy them, too. And just let them "go forth and multiply." And NOT be eaten by the gophers, ground squirrels or rabbits, so there.

I have to admit I only love them elsewhere than my yard, they leave big gaps in the landscape when I've tried. But one of my absolute favorite walks in the world is from the hostel at the Pt. Reyes natl seashore in March, across the creek into an old daffodil farm that has naturalized over many decades, then continuing along the coast to Arch Rock to look for migrating whales.
