According to plantmaps.com, your climate zone is 8b and 9a -- so you're on a border, more or less.

Daffodils are generally recommended for zones 4-8, so you are outside their ideal zone.

But there are some daffodil varieties, and some other types of bulbs, that are more likely to do well there.

Here's a few websites about growing daffodils and other bulbs in warm climates --
