I just purchased a pot of partially blooming dwarf daffodils, should I keep them indoors for now

It is early March and weather is fluctuating – rain, wet snow mixed with some warmer sunny days. Should I put them in the Darden, or keep indoors?

Unless you know otherwise, I suspect that these were forced into blooming while indoors; so they aren't ready to be outside. I would keep them indoors and enjoy the blooms. When the weather settles and hard freezes are past, acclimate them to outdoor conditions over 4-6 days and then plant them. The following article covers transplanting daffodils after the blooms fade. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/daffodil/transplanting-forced-daffodils.htm ^[1]

They probably were forced and intended to enjoy indoors. This article tells how to transfer them to the garden after blooming.
