Robert Loveman wrote "April Rain". I have copied the poem below:
It is not raining rain for me,
It's raining daffodils;
In every dimpled drop I see
Wild flowers on the hills.
The clouds of gray engulf the day
And overwhelm the town;
It is not raining rain to me,
It's raining roses down.
It is not raining rain to me,
But fields of clover bloom,
Where any buccaneering bee
Can find a bed and room.
A health unto the happy,
A fig for him who frets!
It is not raining rain to me,
It's raining violets.

For the home gardener, it is best to grow the daffodils from bulbs, so that you'll know what you're getting. Removing the seed pods will allow more energy to be stored in the bulb for more flowers the following year. Also, growing daffodils from seeds is a waiting game. It will be 5-7 years before the new plant can produce a flower, and you don't know what kind of flower you will eventually be seeing.

How long do daffodils live in vase?
I sell bouquets of daffodils at the local farmer's market, and my customers have been telling me that my own experience is spot on. A cut daffodil should live a good week in a vase. A lot depends on its age when the flower was cut, but I've never done any of the complicated things people do to make bouquets last longer. Just give them fresh water, and be grateful for this sunny herald of spring.
The daffodil has lots of critters that are after its tender tissues.
Examples include the following:

- Caterpillars - feed upon the leaves.
- Nematodes - may attack the root, stem or bulb.

Why are daffodils blooming now in January?
I don't know where you are, but the daffodils bloomed early in January down in NE Georgia as well. It's been a warm winter, so the daffodils got an early start because of the rise in soil temperature told them it was time. Normally we see the wild type daffodil flowers on Valentine's Day, with the culivars following no later than the first of March. Back in 1996 it stayed cold all the way through March, and our first daffodils that year bloomed on April 26th.
