Top Rank Daffodils 
Innumerable gardeners are confused with the terms Daffodils, Nar- 
cissus, and Jonquils and the differences between them. Strictly speak- 
ing, Narcissus and Daffodils are one and the same; the term Narcissus 
being the botanical name, and Daffodil the common name. However, 
common usage for long years has differentiated between the two terms, 
referring to Daffodils as the giant trumpet varieties, and to Narcissus 
as the smaller or medium trumpet varieties, as well as the cluster- 
flowered types. 
Since there are many different forms of Daffodils and Narcissus, for 
convenience and ease of classification, they have been divided into a 
number of groups or divisions according to the form and color of the 
blossoms. Thus, Jonquils, due to the nature and form of their flowers, 
are one of the divisions or groups of Narcissus. Definitely, therefore, 
Jonquils and Daffodils are not one and the same thing as erroneously 
thought by many, and the terms used interchangeably in this manner 
prove misleading. Under the headings listed below are given the main 
group or division differences in this garden family of Daffodils and 
Narcissus.
