    What month are your daffodils in flower are they the tall sort?
    Do you want a perennial or bulb and how tall and what colour

    There are quite a lot of different colours of daffs and narcissus anyway, so if you choose carefully, you can get a good bit of variation just with those.

    Otherwise, it will depend on the conditions and aspect of the site you're planting into. Tulips rarely enjoy the moisture that most daffs do, for example. 
    Fritillaries [both kinds] come in different colours so they might suit, especially the crown imperials. Muscaris come in blue and are a good companion,as are our native Bluebells [scilla]
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
