A significant rite of spring around here is a buying Trader Joe's "sticks" and watching them bloom into beautiful daffodils.
TJ's sells them for a buck per 10 stems (actually, they just went up to $1.19 this year). They look like simple green sticks until you cut off a small portion of the end, stick them in water, and wait 24 hours or so.
