When all the clorophyl (green) is gone, that's the indication that all possible energy is stored back in the bulb instead of the leaves, then it's okay to cut. You can do it now, but you'd be denying that extra bit of life to the bulb if the leaves are still photosynthesizing.
This spring one of the most asked questions at work was "do you braid your daffodil leaves?"
NooOOOoooOOOooo!!!1!
(Also, 28 ish bulbs? Holy crap, that's gonna be a lot of digging this fall....What was I thinking?)

Aims, I'm sorry. I check the Scary Sex Toy blog regularly--when I have the nerve.
I would eat any of the cakes described, but if you told me you had chocolate cake, JZ, I'd be expecting A.
Aimee, sorry to hear about your friend.
I will take the chocolate cake away from everyone who thinks chocolate cake needs chocolate icing--since most icings are too sweet for me anyway, the flavour is pretty irrelevant, and therefore much more for me.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend, Aims.
I get to keep my hypothetical cake, score!
It's gray and dismal today, maybe even raining, which means it's an excellent opportunity to pop some corn and try out my tabletop butter warmer.
I'm sorry about your friend, Aims.
I am making rhubarb lemon bars (lemon bars but with stewed rhubarb as a base for the pudding topping, to which I added some lemon to brighten it up).
And now I have half a dozen extra egg whites. What do I do with them?
