| I really gave this one a shot on my own and did some online research and pulled out a few perennial books, but I'm still struggling! It's very hard for me to ID these daffodils because even once you know the color, number of leaves, and whether the trumpet is long/short, there are still so many possibilities to weed through!! Any experts on Daffodils out there? Seems to be more activity here than in Name that Plant, so I thought I'd make this my first stop. I will say that I have so much more appreciation for them after going through this exercise! Thanks! |

| I don't have any names for you but appreciate the colorful blooms. I could see the ground again today. It is raining now with several inches of snow expected so it will soon be covered again. There was some new hyacinth foliage breaking through the mulch in the front bed and daffodils 4-5" high along the east side of the house. One of those NOID clusters looks like one of your photos. |

| Hi MNSW. I'm hoping for warmer weather your way. Can't wait to see your pictures. |

| 2 is possibly a jonquilla, 'Bellsong' maybe. The multi-headed ones are likely to be Jonquillas or Tazettas (often fragrant) - no.3 looks a lot like 'Minnow' The first one, with the really flat trumpet, looks like one of the split corona types such as Orangerie (might be division 11 or 12). |

| It's hard to do definite IDs on daffs unless you have an expert to ask.... but if they're newer common types I would guess 1) mondragon 2) precocious 3)not sure. I have falconet which is similar.... 4) maybe geranium? usually minnow is smaller and less stout than your daff. But again, it's hard unless you really know daffs. |
