 No daffodils this year.  There are four tulips and a bonus Lily from Brent and Becky's.  Tulips are:

Foxtrot Potted up for porch bloom.  Tulip Foxtrot is a double, early spring blooming tulip bulb that has several different shades of rose color that will blend with many other bulbs and perennials in your garden. Like all tulipa, tulip bulbs are from the Liliaceae family. Tulip Foxtrot is excellent for forcing and has flowers that are long lasting. This fall planted tulip bulb requires full sun and average soil. Tulip Foxtrot blooms 10"-12" tall and is good for winter hardiness zones 3-8.  Potted on the screened porch this performed very well April 2021.
