What type of flower is a daffodil?

Let's look at the scientific classification to find out about the daffodil:

• Kindom; Plantae
• Division: AngiOSperms (aka Magnoliophyta) are the flowering, seed-producing plants
• Group: Monocots (one cotyledon)
• Order: Asparagales (bulbs)
• Family: Amaryllidaceae (Herbaceous plant with showy, lily-like flowers)
• Subfamily: Amaryllidaceae
• Genus: Narcissus

Right away, the kingdom is Plantae, so the daffodil is a plant.

AngiOSperm tells us that it is a flowering plant producing seed, and farther down Amaryllidaceae lets us know that the flowers are definitely ornamental.
