Most of the bulbocodium style minis bloom earlier than the average daffodil.

Yes, I am surprised to see these this late in the season. I have a few varieties, and they do usually bloom earlier for me than the larger daffs. I have Tete-a-tete, Little Gem, Segovia, Thalia, and one of my favorites, Jetfire. They are, for me, just as reliably hardy as the larger daffodils.

I have to put in a plug for my very favorite - Quail. They are not a mini, but have a bit smaller bloom, are the last to bloom for me, have a fairly long bloom time, and if I recall have a nice fragrance. They do, however, come with all the usual strappy foliage!

Then this is weird as I have two clumps, for sure planted just last Fall that are still in bloom (but almost finished). Heck all of our tulips are done blooming this week.

Thanks Dee, I will be on the lookout for these daffs you mention.

UPDATE (September 19, 2020):

Picked up lots of the minis this past week ("Golden Bells" and "New Baby"). (Dee I am still keeping an eye out for "Quail".)
