Best Answer

Daffodils may be all one color (self-colored) or a variety of colors where the perianth (petals) and corona (cup or Trumpet) may be different or may contain more than one color or shade. Breeders, or hybridizers, of the daffodil are constantly working to create new and usual colors by careful genetic selection.

Petals are generally white of yellow. It is in the corona that the colors explode. There may be any shade or tone of white, yellow, orange, "pink", "red" and green. The variety Red Rim has white petals surrounding a orange-yellow cup rimmed with scarlet. The colors, outside of yellow and white, may be very subtle, but they are there if you look long enough.

Why does daffodils have long bendy leaves?

Daffodils have to compete with its neighbors for available light, and it needs as much light as it can get to make food for the plant tissues and have enough left over to store in the bulb for next year's plant.

Why do daffodils have modified leaves at the base?

The cup or trumpet of the daffodil is called a corona, which means "crown". At the base of the flower are 6 floral leaves called the perianth, which means "around the flower". These leaves unite into a tube giving the daffodil its characteristic shape. The back 3 leaves are called sepals and the inner 3 are petals. The shape and color of the daffodil draws in specific pollinators to the reproductive area of the flower.

Are daffodils and narcissus the same flowers?

The names "daffodil" and "narcissus" are interchangeable, but the name "jonquil" is used for Division 7 daffodils, characterized by very narrow, almost cylindrical, leaves and 1-5 (rarely up to 8) fragrant flowers per stem. Most other daffodils have flat leaves. All daffodils have some fragrance, and the jonquils and tazettas (Division 8) have the strongest. Most daffodils bloom within 4 to 6 weeks after the first appearance of foliage in the very early spring. Depending on location and cultivar, the blooming season can last from 8 weeks in northern climates to almost six months in the Lower South. Answer taken from an article on Buzzle.com
