Bring a flowering border indoors with daffodils on a window ledge. An assortment of bottles filled with single stems of yellow and orange ‘Kissproof,’ white with red ‘Cameo Queen,’ pure white ‘Mount Hood,’ and white and sunny yellow ‘Little Beauty’ makes a simple but smart seasonal display. Change the water daily and add a dose of floral food to keep your flowers blooming longer.
