  1. Lovely daffodils! Do your tulips last more than one year? Mine hardly ever survive longer than that.

    I think you solved a mystery for me. One of my longtime favorite daffodils came from a mixed bag at Costco and I never knew the name. It looks a lot like Lemon Chiffon. Thanks!

    Yes, most of my tulips come back year after year. Some tulips species are better at it than others. And some bulbs of some tulips will take 2 years to bloom again. I make sure the seed pods are cut off immediately after they bloom, and fertilize with bone meal so that they will make big bulbs for the next year, instead of big seed pods.
