Best Answer

When the daffodil flower has died, you will notice that the area where flower has attached to the stem swells larger and larger. It is producing seeds.

If you plant the seeds, it can take 3-4 years for the seeds to develop into bulbs which produce the daffodil plants. Bulbs are necessary to store food for the next year's stem, leaves, and flower.

Bulbs can multiply underground, be separated, and you can use the new bulb to start a daffodil plant in a new location.

Picking the daffodil flower is good for the plant and nice to look at in your vase. It's good for the plant because the food that would have gone into keeping the bloom alive and producing seeds takes away food from the bulb that it could use in next year's beautiful display.

HOWEVER, please let me warn you that daffodils are toxic (poisonous) to humans and pets. The normal reaction is severe vomiting, but in an immune-compromised person the reaction could be worse. Always wash your hands after handling daffodils, and keep them away from your indoor pets.
