How do daffodils end up growing on the motorway bank if no one planted them there?

Worked build motorways and they were most definitely


planted during construction.They then multiply each year.

How do daffodils end up growing on the motorway bank if no one planted them there?
squirrels or any other animal may have dug them up and replanted them that way
Reply:They don't. Someone planted them and they have multiplied.
Reply:Look at your answers carefully there are some that are good and others that are flights of fancy


I have yet to see a daffidol bulb carried by the wind, if this did happen my house would be a pile of rubble
Reply:They are usually planted. However, bulbs are very resilient and they may have been in the soil used to build up the bank.
Reply:Animals could drop them there, or it could get carried by the wind. When it rains, the soil gets wet and the bulb falls into the ground and than it is burried.
Reply:There are 2 ways this could of happened:


1. The wind blows the seeds of those plant things with the furry bit on top.


2. As mentioned earlier, someone could of planted them and they would of multiplied.





Hope I'm right (I am but heyy)!
Reply:the councils have to plant so many along motorways they are trouble free and double there stock that's why they look so many
Reply:Some are wild bulbs but most are planted as are primroses. It's part of reinstating the land after road building and preserving the environment.
Reply:The same way 250 tulip bulbs "disappeared",from my garden.Burrowing animals like squirrels. I found walnuts in my garden and wondered how they got there and when I talked to my neighbor,I found out she "rescues" squirrels and fed them Diamond brand walnuts that ended up in my garden,I got a good laugh with it as that solved the case of the missing tulips and some of them ended up blooming all over the place,but not at my place.I found a safe way to plant the bulbs. The next fall I enclosed the new bulbs in chicken wire and the bulbs pushed through and were protected from the thieving rascals with the fluffy tails.Happy ending.
Reply:The council put them there when the motorway was built.... who do u think cuts the grass???
Reply:They often are planted there - I've known of people on community service being made to do this.
Reply:Daffodils are a bulb.It possible that they were carried by the wind or dropped of a truck as they are very hardy.
Reply:animal droppings, wind etc.
Reply:Wind probably carrying the pollen and seeds
Reply:Wind blows the seeds from a daffodil around and some of them ended up on the side of the highway.
