Early Spring Has Sprung in California

. . . and here come the daffodils.

Yellow Daffodil

Here’s some information about daffodils from the American Daffodil Society . . .

Depending on which botanist you talk to, there are between 40 and 200 different daffodil species, subspecies or varieties of species and over 25,000 registered cultivars (named hybrids) divided among the thirteen divisions of the official classification system.

Daffodil season lasts from six weeks to six months, depending on where you live and the cultivars you grow. After blooming, let the daffodil plant rebuild its bulb for the next year. The leaves stay green while this is happening. When the leaves begin to yellow, then you can cut the leaves off, but not before.
