20. I suspect that Grape Hyacinth, like Cockroaches, can survive a nuclear winter.

As for Daffs, I actually had some in full bloom, a few years back, when another blast of Winter hit, and they survived the ice and snow, just fine. I think Tulips are a little more sensitive, but again, we just had some really cold, frosty nights and my Tulips are doing great.

This really is one of the best blooms I can remember. Maybe Mother Nature figured I needed something positive, in my life. Of course, she was spot on.
