Joanna- If the daffodil has not pollinated, there would not be any reason to save the flower stalk once its flower wilts. I would deadhead to improve appearance. My daffodils reproduce both ways bulbs and seeds. I have done it that way thinking that is what naturalizing means. It can be hard in Texas to naturalize daffodils due to our lack of freezing weather. I thought they need all the help they can get. Maybe in colder climates seedlings would not survive like they do here. Somewhere I heard plant two years in a row and I did each year 4 or 5 different cultivars. Both years they were totally different cultivars. I have noticed every other year certain types bloom heavier than other years. May you and your garden be blessed.
One to take to heart....1 John 4 ..............................................Where there is smoke...there is fire...in most cases the smoke will kill you long before the fire consumes you. Beware of smoke screens! Freedom is not free and when those who have not paid the price or made the sacrifice...think that only they are right and entitled to speak...they bring us tryanny.
