Introduction
    This unique daffodil photo database is a Internet query system sponsored by the American Daffodil Society. The purpose of DaffSeek is to provide useful information and photos to anyone interested in gardening, growing, showing, hybridizing, or photographing daffodils.

    Since DaffSeek has thousands of photographs, the database provides a means to visually identify your daffodils. It also can provide seasonal growing information, comments, and the history of your daffodils. In many cases, there will be one or more photograph of each daffodil.

    The Menu enables you to easily do the most popular DaffSeek queries.   The Expanded Menu provides a way for you to do more complex, exact, or specialized queries.

    The query menus can be a little intimidating at first, but please remember you only have to enter a partial flower name to see results.   You can see daffodil photos simply by entering the word “Pink” in the "Daffodil Name".   The "Daffodil Name" is the first query area near the top of the menu.   Once you see the results of the “Pink” query, you will see the other screens of DaffSeek and understand how it works.

    DaffSeek returns information for any match or partial match of the "Daffodil Name". For example, a query for a daffodil name “Ice” will return a list of results including the names “Cherry Ice” or “Lemon Juice”.

    Please experiment and try different combinations of queries.

To find a unique daffodil, when you do not know the entire name:


    1. In 'Daffodil Name', key in the part of the flower name you know and either press the enter key or click on the green 'Submit Query' button at the top of the menu.   Be sure and enter only the part of the name that you know for sure.


    2. You will either see a list of every daffodil that matched your name information, or a page with the detail information for a specific daffodil.


    3. If you see a list of daffodil names, page through the list to find the exact daffodil name you are searching. When you find your daffodil, click on the blue words with your daffodil name.


    4. You will see a page with the detail information and hopefully small thumbnail photos.


    5. Click on one of the thumbnail photos to enlarge it to a medium size photo.  Then you may click on the medium photo to see an even larger photo, because there are two sizes.


    6. To go back to the list, click on the green 'Back to List' button.


    7. If you do not want to go back to the list, but look for another daffodil, click on the blue button 'New Query'.


    8. Your previous query information will be displayed on the screen.  If you want to refine your search, enter additional information and resubmit your query.


    9. Any daffodil record you viewed earlier, will be listed in green since you have already looked at this daffodil's detail information.


    10. Anytime you want to remove the contents on the query form to build a new query, click on the gold button labeled 'Clear Form' located at the top.
