daylilies and daffodils

<< I believe that White Flower Farm was featuring daffodils with daylilies.  I
 tried this combo with tulips and daylilies successfully.  Use
 early-blooming tulips; the late ones are engulfed by the daylily foliage.
 Both like the dry soil and I believe both like the same type of fertilizer
 because the daylilies never looked better. >>

===>This is a classic interplanting for daffodils.  It may be obvious, but 
I'll say it anyway:  do not plant the daylilies directly over the daffodils 
(or any other bulbs for that matter).  Eventually you'll want to dig up one 
or the other without disturbing the one.  Plus daylilies can become 
impenetrable.  

Sprinkle some larkspur seed over the daffodil areas in the winter and you'll 
have larkspur blooming in early summer; they'll reseed too.
