Hybridizing Daffodils
The introductions and improvements in daffodils come from amateur hybridizers and not from commercial sources. The time and effort necessary to introduce a new variety makes it cost prohibited. Therefore, the propogation of daffodil cultivars are in the hands of the hobbist. It's one of those areas where the amateur can make a difference.
