Not in Daffodil Society, but do have pot of Sternbergia lutea; got 1
bloom a short while ago; these from seed sown a few years ago.
Understand they require pretty dry dormancy conditions and am not
exactly certain they're bone hardy for me, so they live in a pot.
James Waddick posted somewhere once that he has mixed success with
them in the ground in Kansas City. Seems from other posts I've saved
that a sand bed in full sun is not a bad plan with these guys.
