I have a really dumb question - what do you do with daffodil plants after they’re about done blooming? Can you snip them off at ground level and just leave ‘em?

You don’t want to cut back the foliage until it’s dead. They still get nutrients for next year from that.

LSA - I’ve moved tulips before. But I’m not sure there are any to come back. None of the red ones came up on that side of the yard. The other side did fine (the ones in the snow picture).

You need to pinch off the wilted blossom. It’s called dead-heading, and if’n you don’t do it, the plant will set seed, which will reduce it’s ability to bloom the following year. LSA
