Title: Daffodils
Post by: widgetwilk on January 24, 2014, 10:11:55
Don't know where to put this, so if it is in wrong place, sorry,

Can anyone tell me where I can find any images or drawings of the different kinds of daffodils,
at our Garden Club Spring Show we have class's for different specimens of the plant, we put a description on the entry sheet but someone said a 'poster' type 'thing' showing the different ones would be good, drawings would be clearer then photos, but can't find any,

be gratful for any help, thanks

I'm sure that someone will have a copy of The Flower Expert by Dr D G Hessayon, or if not try the library.  Look under Narcissus where it shows drawings of them along with details and some photos.
I hope that this helps.

Google images brings up loads of different daffodil types, if that is of use to you:
