What time of year do you see daffodils growing and what colour are they?
Daffodils are the "heralds" of spring, so they will be growing as soon as the soil thaws out a bit. They continue for about 8 weeks, depending on how many varieties are growing in the same area.
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.
How many different varieties of daffodils?
The actual number of daffodil species is up for university and daffodil association debate, but there are between 40 and 200, and when looking at the new hybrids introduced each year, there are over 25,000 registered cultivars among the 13 divisions of daffodils.
How long do daffodils live in water?
I sell bouquets of daffodils at the local farmer's market, and my customers have been telling me that my own experience is spot on. A cut daffodil should live a good week in a vase.

Just give them fresh water, and be grateful for this sunny herald of spring.

What happens if pollen from a daffodil is spread to tulip?
Though they are both flowering, herbaceous, bulb perennials, the tulip and the daffodil are genetically noncompatible. The daffodil is of the Family Amaryllidaceae and the tulip is of the Family Liliaceae. That's just too distant for the genes to line up properly for cross-pollination. Therefore, nothing happens except a waste of good pollen when pollen from one visits the stigma of the other.
