Daffodils in bloom

The Phoenix, Arizona area is a great place for daffodils. I have several types here, and this one, which is a grandiflora, started blooming at the beginning of January. There is nothing special that you need to do with daffodil bulbs, just put them in the ground - preferably around September, give them a little slow-release fertilizer, and they will start blooming in early spring.

This plant has been in the ground, and blooming, for several years now. When the blooms end, I cut off the stalk, but I leave the leaves alone until they have died back, as they are necessary to put energy back into the plant for next year's blooms.
