===>I think Martha also advised wrapping and rubberbanding the foliage in a
recent show. That is not what most members of the American Daffodil Society
would recommend. If you're going to cut off all but a few inches, why not
cut it all off? If you don't believe the foliage is serving a useful
purpose, why retain any of it? I think you do this at your own risk.
