Planting daffodil bulbs in the fall is the right time as the soil is still ideal and not yet covered by frost. The best season to grow them is between September and November. But it will be different depending on where you live.
I agree! Here in Texas the weather is just getting about right for all of my Daffodil bulbs to start popping up and bloom. I am wondering if it would hurt them much to dig up a few bloomers and move them right now? I'm not real knowledgeable with bulbs.

Can only get daffodils in the fall and it's best to plant them straight away.
@Bud B. I wouldn't move them now when in flower, can move them 6 weeks after that.
I figured that might be the case. The problem is finding the bulbs in the ground next Fall as they are in an open field that is mowed clean. I only see them in the Spring when the plants are up and blooming.

For us if they are in a field can't dig them up, they're classed as wild.
That's interesting. These Daffodils have a neat story behind them. On my ranch there was an old homestead here from the 1800's. The house and buildings are long gone, but the flowers they planted still remain and come up every year. You can see where the fenced yard was by the neat rows of Daffodils coming up in a square pattern along where the old fenced yard used to be.

I am amazed that they have survived and multiplied over all these years in the wild. I did dig up some a few years ago to plant in my yard and they have done very well there also.
