Jim, I have some daffodils I haven't positively IDed yet, here in z6 Southwest Virginia they started blooming here mid-February and the last stragglers are still going - they look to me like a wild or old selection of N. pseudonarcissus, though I'm no expert. The farm I live at was in one family for 250 years before I moved here, so no plant tags or idea of the vintage of the plants, but they self-sow everywhere. The flowers pulled through several nights in the teens. I'd be happy to send you some when the foliage starts dying down! -joe On Sun, Apr 8, 2018, 5:37 PM James Waddick <jwaddick@kc.rr.com> wrote: > Dear JAne and All > > On Apr 8, 2018, at 1:26 PM, Jane McGary <janemcgary@earthlink.net> wrote: > > I'm starting to think about collecting seed for the coming exchanges and > have been looking at the early daffodils in my bulb lawn.
