Daffodil Information:

These plants are scapose. This means that they have a central stem which is hollow and leafless. The bulb gives rise to green leaves that are strap-shaped and narrow.  Each stem has a solitary flower. This is what normally happens but sometimes a cluster of flowers also forms on the stem. This cluster is called umbel. The flowers are formed of a perianth consisting of three parts. They may be yellow or white in color. Sometimes, they consist of both the colors. The flowers sometimes hang down from the step and can even be erect at times. A style is present in the center and around it, six stamens are present that bear pollen. The ovary is trilocular and it is present below the floral parts of the plant.
