In North Florida and South Georgia, a five month blooming season is possible by
careful selection of species and cultivars. Daffodils come in a variety of shapes
and sizes - ranging from Gigantic Star to the miniature Hawera. All daffodils are
not yellow - many have combinations of color including pink, white, orange, red,
and gold. Over one-hundred fifty varieties are blooming in a number of area gardens.
