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.
