VMT to all contributors who have so freely given of their time
and knowledge in answering my query concerning 'Blind' daffodils.

May I refer you to a site suggested by David Hill, which gives all
the answers in plain, simple language.

Next year and the years that follow, my garden will show an
additional blaze of gold, yellow, white and pink all due to
your answers.

I have one quibble with the reference. I've dug up hundreds of bulbs
that have multiplied in the ground and *never* seen any evidence of a
'mother' bulb dying off. I just separate all the offspring and
re-plant them all.
