They are gorgeous. I'm lucky to have a northern garden to plant them in. I planted all those 4 years ago and this is the first year I've been there when they've been blooming. Great looking foliage, too.

But . . . y'know, even if they did bloom for you in Florida, they're so very fleeting. In our warm weather they'd likely be in bloom for about a week, then done for the year. Cannas are a lot better plant for bloom value. Or begonias that bloom and bloom, or orchids with flowers that last 2 months . . . it's nuts to want daffodils when you can have amaryllis, just my opinion.
