Wildtype daffodils are generally a plain, dull, yellow color. I look at them and feel like they are starved for attention. There is no "pink" gene for color in the daffodil. The pinks are really a muted or diluted orange that is easy to manipulate in pictures. They should be called salmon or apricot or some other light orange color. Did you know that scientist genetically engineered rice with two daffodil genes and one bacterial gene to increase the vitamin A content of the rice? The rice is a beautiful daffodil yellow color.

How do daffodils adapt to the wild?
Many daffodils are "wild types". Are you asking if cultivars can "go wild"? The good thing about daffodils is that they require very little human care. Have you ever seen a meadow where there are daffodils in what looks to be a garden setting? Long after the people have died and the house has fallen and crumbled away, the daffodils will still be in their gardens. Daffodils don't really need to "adapt". They already have toxins in thier tissues that keep weeds at bay. They are early spring flowers - up before the major invasion of weeds occurs. The cultivars that would have the hardest time "going wild" would be the late season ones who might find weed competition can overwhelm them.
