Wendy - 

I know why you are dividing the TBs but why would you lift the daffs?
Lifting bulbs (unless they are overcrowded and blooming less) is a lot 
like potting irises for me....a lot more work and time. If my daffs 
start blooming less (and I have them in various iris beds), I just 
plant new ones in the same place. I did try to 'find' some tulips and 
other bulbs one or two years and never did find them so I just assumed 
that nature had decomposed or whatever these bulbs. Living in a cold 
climate, I figured that they froze and then decomposed underground.  

I do admire people that are so committed to their gardens that they do 
all these 'extra' work for their gardens. I think I may be the most 
cavalier of gardeners....the less time I spend in the garden _working_ 
the better I like it. It is a great hobby and fun - with the emphasis 
on fun. :) I also plant irises wherever there is a tilled and amended 
place - sort of a slap-happy gardener.
