Anita,
my experience with wild daffodil seeds :
I let them dry a little ( about two weeks ) storing them in a room ,
then I keep the seeds wrapped in papertowel inside a ziplok bag into
the fridge
near the vegetables' zone, about two months;
in September I set a large box ( I use polystirene empty fish boxes
with many new holes on bottom, 20 cm high )
with fine sand 80% mixed with 20% compost
and I leave the box outside during the winter, taking care not to
allow the birds to pick up the seeds
( you may cover that box with an empty plastic fruit cassette fixed
with stones )
In spring you will see very thin levaes ( like grass ) 6/10 cm tall...
you'll need from 3 to 5 years before flowering...
hoping it may help...
