Daffodils

A daffodil is a kind of flower.

Lilacs cannot be cross-bred with daffodils. Though they are both flowering dicots, the lilac is a woody perennial and the daffodil is a herbaceous perennial. They are too far apart to be genetically compatible. However, in the Internet game, Farmville, I hear they have cross-bred one for the game, and it's called a Lilac Daffy.

Daffodils are beautiful flowers that have a cup shape at their center with long petals growing like a saucer underneath it. They are planted in the Fall, grow all Winter, and start to bloom during the Spring. They grow best in sunny weather.

The daffodil makes energy in the same manner as other plants. Photosynthesis is a process that converts light energy (from the sun) into chemical energy (sugar) that can be utilized to support the plant's tissues. It is also stored in the bulb for the next year's growth and flowering needs.

After tulips bloom, you can cut the foliage back by half, so they can still store some energy for the next year's flowers. When it gets hot, the leaves will turn yellow and die back. You can then remove the leaves. In the spring they will come up again and repeat the cycle.

Daffodil Day began in Australia in 1986. It is a merchandise based fundraiser for cancer research, education and patient support. Daffodil Day is the 4th Friday in August. The target for 2013 is $8.25 million. The daffodil was choses as a symbol of hope, rebirth and new beginnings. To the Cancer Council, it represents new hope for a cancer-free future.

When the daffodil flower has died, you will notice that the area where flower has attached to the stem swells larger and larger. It is producing seeds.

If you plant the seeds, it can take 3-4 years for the seeds to develop into bulbs which produce the daffodil plants. Bulbs are necessary to store food for the next year's stem, leaves, and flower.

Bulbs can multiply underground, be separated, and you can use the new bulb to start a daffodil plant in a new location.

Yes. In fact, they can actually choke out and kill other Daffodils if they become too numerously dense in one small location.

They also return each year, usually early spring up until the mid summer.

Flowers, were discovered in the 1800's way back then, and probably in the times of the dinosaurs, when the scientists found these weird things that were attached to a natural plant called grass and stems that were and still are bright and colorful, also beautiful and they are just plants that people use today to make their yard look more attractive or for decorations or just pretty much anything and that is what a flower is.

Tulips stems should be cut on a bias. To make them stay fresher for longer, cut them, then roll each stem in newspaper for 2 hours, then cut again.

Well, a daisy is usually yellow. So the most populest colour to us is the petal colour which is most likely, yellow. But to bees it would be a orange type of colour which is the middle, the honey.

According to legend, St. David (the patron saint of Wales) was getting ready for a battle that took place in a leek field. He told his Britons to wear a leek in their caps to reduce casualties from "friendly fire", since their enemy, the Saxons, looked like their brothers. This produced a defining victory for the Britons. Today, on March 1st, Welsh people wear the leeks in remembrance. Some will wear the daffodil, since the common word for leek and daffodil is the same. Daffodil has become the National Flower of Wales.

Generally daffodil flowers don't get pollinated, and rarely will you find daffodils from seeds coming up in a garden, unless they have purposely been sown there. If you do want to play around with a daffodil seed (it takes 5-7 years before you'll see the flower), the way daffodil flowers are pollinated is by bees or other flying insects and humans purposely applying pollen to the stigma.

It should take approximately 2 years for the daffodils to begin sprouting petals, and about 9 years for the daffodils to sprout fully. In order to grow, the daffodils should be maintained with low level nitrogen plant food and watered in partly shaded conditions.

Daffodils grow in the spring from a bulb. They do have seeds, but it takes a good five years to get a flower from a daffodil seed, so most people plant the bulbs. They need to be in a well drained area, in sun or partial shade, and the bulb can adapt to most soils. Once the temperature is right, the bulb will send up its one cotyledon and from that leaves will make their way up and out to the light to soak up energy and make food for the bulb and expectant flowers. They last a full month or so, depending on the variety. When the flowers are finished, you leave the leaves in place for about a month. After they have started turning yellow, all of the food that they can make has been sent to the bulb. They they disappear until the next spring. Each year the bulb will multipy to produce new plants. They are very simple plants to have and they need very little tending.

The daffodil gets its food directly and indirectly through photosynthesis. When the plant has leaves, it is making its food through the interaction between chlorophyll in its leaves and sunlight. It uses this food during the flowering process and stores some of the food in the bulb underground. The following year, the bulb will use this food to send new shoots up through the soil to develop a new green plant.

Currently the research shows that the only way to have a purple daffodil is through genetic manipulation. A purple gene would have to be isolated from another flower type and trasferred into the daffodil genome. However, if you take a white daffodil and place it in a vase of dark purple colored water, then you can turn that one white daffodil a purple color. It won't be a perfect purple flower, but it's as close as you'll get.

Daffodils are natives of southern Spain and Portugal , North Africa and West Asia. They could be found in meadows and woods. Today most of the daffodils are developed, produced and exported from Holland, and the United Kingdom is the leader in using and exporting cut daffodil flowers. They will grow in any temperate climate.

The scientific name of the wild daffodil is Narcissus pseudo-narcissus. With the explosion of cultivars, there may be as many as 200 different species of what people commonly call a daffodil. The word "narcissus" comes from a Greek word meaning "numbness" referring to the alkaloids in the plant which cause a sedative effect. Of course, there is the Greek myth of the beautiful Narkissos, who fell in love with his own reflection and was turned into the flower "narcissus". The first reference to "daffodil" is from the 1590s.
