About a year ago, in the spring of 2020, my wife and I took Bella for a walk. We passed a neighborâs house and Kate admired the big clump of daffodils. They must have been planted many years ago, for they were healthy and thick with bright yellow blooms. I knew Kateâs favorite color was yellow, so I thought to buy some daffodil bulbs and plant them. Coincidentally (or maybe not), Facebook showed me that very day an advertisement for a Dutch company that bred bulb plants like tulips and daffodils. So I went to the website and discovered that in the spring, when everyone sees daffodils after a long, cold winter, the bulb outlets have spring sales. The headlines blared â75% off!â âGiant Daffodils!â
