Daffodils

Because I am evolving a flower I drew from to something completely new but still shows relativeness, I've decide to look into daffodils. I remember last Easter being told about hoop petticoat daffodils and saw some my self. Even though they are part of the daffodil family they look very different in appearance compared to the common daffodil. For instance, the bell-shaped part of the flower are much bigger and curved with the petals around it small and thin, whereas on the common daffodils the petals are much fatter and curved. The stem of the hoop petticoat are very thin and are more rounded, they are also very short in height. In general the common daffodil is bigger all round, apart from for the bell which is smaller than the petals. The bell of both daffodils is the main feature and is what makes the flower recognised as a daffodil. I need to remember to consider this when evolving and creating relatives for my flower, to have something that doesn't change too much throughout like possibly the shape of petals.
