All your blooming plants are beautiful! What great photos! I have been lurking and enjoying this thread.

I hope you don't mind me jumping in here. I live in Florida and have never seen (in real life) some of these beautiful blooming flowers from bulbs. Well, this year my local Wally World was selling bulbs in a bag. I couldn't resist, so decided to give them a try. I had to put them in my refrigerator for about 2 months and then planted them in a pot to see what would happen. As you can see from the photo, they bloomed. And boy were they more beautiful IRL than I could've ever imagined.

But now I have some questions that perhaps a few folks here can answer. I know nothing about daffodils and tulips. Do they just have one single bloom per plant or do they grow more blossoms? And I understand that I will need to dig the bulbs up and store dry and cool until next winter. When should the bulbs be dug up?

Thanks for any help! :-)
