Can daffodil blooms survive a sudden hard frost?

I know that the plants will be fine, but what about the open blooms? Do I need to pick them and enjoy them inside or will they survive temps that should dip to about 20 degrees tomorrow night?
Thx!

From thegardenhelper.com:


Most daffodils are pretty hardy and will tolerate a certain amount of frost and freezing.
There are a few exceptions to the rule, however, such as the Paper White Narcissus, which is only hardy in zones 8-11.

If your buds are already showing any color, you might want to pick them and bring them into the house
where they will open up. Daffodils should always be snapped off, never cut or snipped!
If you expect snow with the freeze, you have much less to worry about because the snow will act as an insulator.

Adding a mulch of dry leaves can be helpful if the temperature is going to drop much below 20 degrees
or the freeze is expected to continue for an extended period of time.
My daffodils have been up and in bloom for 10 days now, and we've had freezing night temperatures for 5 of the 10 days with no ill affects.

If you have a variety of Daffodil that you know is frost tender,
you can create a little tent for them using stakes and sheet plastic during the freeze.
Keep in mind that if the sun shines and it warms up, you will have created a sealed oven.
Be sure to remove or open the plastic tent when the temperature rises!

Thanks Kay. I had already read that, but still had some questions.

I know these are NOT paperwhites but don't know what they all are exactly. If they were in bud, I know they'd be ok, but these are in full bloom! That's why I'm wondering whether they they'll do ok when the temp goes to 20 or so. I could bring them all inside of course and enjoy them indoors, but would like to leave them alone if it's safe to do so. Covering them all is not an option!

Thanks to anyone who can help answer this!

Well, if you post a picture, we can tell you what they are.

I have lots of different ones (but none are paperwhites... these are winter-hardy plants). I'm not trying to identify them.. just want some guidelines as to whether I can leave the fully-open flowers in the ground during a hard freeze. Thanks!

I would pick the flowers before a hard freeze.
I have experienced that the daff flower will just shrivel up ...
Good luck !
