Actually according to Robert Scotland, plant scientist in Oxford (England), nobody really knows much at all about the Trumpet, and that is the point of the research he is currently foin along with Peter Endress in Zurich and scientists at Kew Gardens. Obviously it must have something to do with attracting insects to the reproductive parts, but the daffodil is the only plant flower that has this 5th part of the basic flower. Every other flower has sepals, petals, stamens and the female center. Scientists currently cannot tell you why the corona (trumpet or cup) exists.
