Which part of the daffodil is known as the ‘trumpet’?
A Stem
B Leaf
C Corona
Fact: The corona, also known as the paracorolla, is a cup- or trumpet-shaped structure that sits above the petal-like tepals of the daffodil. During flowering, the corona grows as a tube-like extension from the stamens—the male reproductive parts of the flower—which merge into a single structure. The anthers—the pollen-producing part of the stamens—shrink. Fragrances attracting pollinators are produced at the base of the corona.
