And the person who bred this daffodil was also devoted to the screaming colors, as we shall see. But it takes five to seven years to bring a daffodil from pollination to seed, so the aesthetic of the flower is an interesting cross between the tastes of several years before (when the pollination was planned), and the tastes of the current time (when you decide whether it stays in the garden, or gets put in the compost pile).
