One of the marquees at Floriade had a table full of crazy daffodils. I'll admit I didn't bother taking snaps of the classic yellow types, just of some of the crazier ones that caught my eye. My favourites were these first few, with super-small coloured coronas (middle bit) and crisp white perianths (the outer petals). That last one has almost no corona at all!

Some of them had a pinkish corona, like these.

And then there were a few wild-looking types.

This isn't a tulip at all, I wrote down the name: "Fritillaria meleagris". I just thought it looked interesting, never seen anything like it before.
