Pinning appears to me to be a clever idea. I will be curious to read in future posts, if there are any negative affects next years flowers.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-8152588681601372242011-05-24T19:50:11.914-04:002011-05-24T19:50:11.914-04:00What a quick and useful idea.

Most of my daffs aren't intermingled with other plants, so I just ignore them as the foliage flops over and splays out and gets slimy and slug-gnawed and slowly yellows and then withers away to a crisp in the mid-summer heat. Yes, as you can tell, I just ignore them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-84044207130976555272011-05-21T20:56:40.368-04:002011-05-21T20:56:40.368-04:00Great idea, totally stealing it ;)Great idea, totally stealing it ;)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16081910214469501598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-2402337236154760332011-05-21T20:28:44.316-04:002011-05-21T20:28:44.316-04:00Beth - I bought the pins at Amazon, if you want to...Beth - I bought the pins at Amazon, if you want to give it a try. :o)<br /><br />Hanni- I've braided the leaves before and even used a torn leaf to tie off the end but it was really time consuming.
