Jim,

I tried the 'Oregon Strain' without much success. Only one is coming up this fall, but I haven't checked this week. I was hoping for better. Down the hill, towards Ithaca, in the local banana belt, they grow it will.

Dear PBS friends,

I have tried and never succeeded with Narc. bulbocodium in my outdoor gardens
here in Kansas City MO - Zone 5/6. This includes the widely sold ‘Golden Bells’
and other sources. I just got a few bulbs of Steve Vinisky’s Cherry Creek
Daffodils ‘Oregon Strain’ and hope for better.

Has any one tried this ‘Oregon Strain’ in colder climates. What success? I
have planted a few outdoors in a slightly raised bed and others in a pot for the
cool GH where I know they do quite well.

Is ‘Oregon Strain’ any hardier? Thanks for your experiences. Jim W.
