Wild daffodils are clump-growing plants with basal leaves and solitary deep yellow flowers. They grow in meadows, woodland and hedgerows and by rivers and roadsides. Several cultivated forms and hybrids, in a wider range of colours, are grown for commercial purposes. Daffodils are cultivated in Mr. Painter’s fields, the bulbs harvested in the summer.
