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 did your daffodils change from yellow to white over the years?

Many flowers like tulips, daffodils and glads were once white and the breeders crossed them to give color. In time the bulbs become old and may revert back to white. Also there is a white daffodil so if you have stored the bulbs altogether they will all become white. Here's a good idea I came up with. I use to get so frustrated because I'd have to wait for my daffodils and tulips to stop blooming, wait for the leaves to die off before I could plant my summer flowers. I came up with the idea of getting a 10" pot and I would put 3 - 4 bulbs in each pot and then bury it where I wanted it. When the daffodils and tulips were finished I simply lifted the pot right of the ground and put them on the bench in the back of our yard to die off and I was able to get my summer planting done earlier.

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
