There are so many beautiful flowers, gardens and information on this thread it is hard to absorb. I did want to comment on the daffodils, particularly Rip Van Winkle, as I was gifted these I checked the plant files to check if mine were a match. Mine looked closest to the photos posted by imelling, very full almost round and shaggy. I have had similar experience to sjms, these are very hardy for me and spread prolifically. Critterologist I don't think you have to worry about this one. I seem to have an over abundance of daffodills and I think the trick is regularly dividing them. I tend to move plants around alot, the daffs are underneath and get thinned and spread frequently.
I think my tastes have changed over the years and I enjoy more grasses and native plants now but I still have a whole front garden of daffodils in the spring.
