Hu Bob,

	There’s a good  chance your small daff is ’Tete a Tete’. Very easy, very vigorous, lasts and lasts in the garden. When it isn’t too crowded most stems will have 2 flowers per stem (thus the name), but these are a bit crowded.   Been around for ages, too. Check it out on line.

They come back and bloom despite never getting thinned and mostly planted in the adobe that Tennesseans laughingly call soil.
