RHS Classification System

For horticultural purposes, all Narcissus cultivars are split into 13 divisions by the Royal Horticultural Society, based partly upon flower form and partly upon genetic background. Growers register new daffodil cultivars by name and color with the Royal Horticultural Society, with more than 27,000 names registered as of 2008. Registered daffodils are given a division number and colour code.

Famous quotes containing the word system:

    To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.
    Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
