This photograph of Ice Follies shows the size of the bulbs. These each have 4 bulbs attached at the base and are sometimes called Mother Bulbs! These will produce at least 4 daffodil flowers and cannot be found in nurseries as they are expensive to ship. Nurseries typically buy “double nose” #2 which have two bulbs but are of second size.

I placed these bulbs on an 11″ platter to show the scale. These bulbs have 4 bulbs attached as one (they are sometimes called Mother Bulbs) and some others have 3 and some have 2. I weighted out a shipment of 50 of them to mail and found that 50 weighted 12 pounds!

Varieties differ by size and formation, but they are always the largest available to give long life and durability to whatever you are planting.
