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.
