Daffodils

Kent Middle School near the College of Marin campus has bed of several varieties of daffodils.  Wait - are they daffodils, jonquils or narcissus? 

According to The Flower Expert, daffodils, the flowers symbolizing friendship, are one of the
most popular flowers exclusively due to their unmatched beauty. Often the trumpet is in a contrasting color from the background. The name Daffodils includes the cluster-flowered yellow Jonquils and the White Narcissi, as well as the more common trumpet shaped flowers; all are members of the genus Narcissus.
