Daffodils
Daffodils are "true" bulbs. There are over 13,000 hybrids in the daffodil data bank list. These are divided among the thirteen divisions of the official classifications. All Daffodils fit into one of these divisions. Miniatures have the same descriptive division as standards, only with smaller blooms.
