I have daffodils that I thinned after they bloomed this spring, and plan to pass on the bulbs to my daughters. I dug up the bulbs and cut off the greens, leaving 2” above the bulb. It wasn’t practical to directly transplant them due to timing, but could I transplant the bulbs within several weeks, or should I wait til fall? If I wait, should I let them sun-dry or keep moist?

Thank you for reaching out to ask2.extension.
Ideally you should wait until fall. Be sure to clean off excess dirt from the bulbs and store them in a cool dry place until fall.
