Actually, this is a FPM (Frequently Posted Myth). There is relatively
little variation within the UK, though there is enough that simple
advice like that has to be modified for location.

I don't think this is a myth at all. I was talking to my Dad (in Cornwall)
on March 16th, and apparently their daffodils have been out for a month
now. Ours haven't really got started up here (in Clackmannanshire).

So if you try giving advice about what to do about leftover daffs
after flowering, you're immediately getting a difference of several weeks.
