Here's an interesting thought. Whenever someone recites the poem of Wordsworth's about the golden daffodils, I always see in my mind's eye a big clump of "KIng Alfred"'s in all their gaudy splendour. But I don't think "King Alfred" had been hybridized back in 1802, so what Wordsworth saw would probably be a wild native daffodil. I'll do a bit more research on this and find out.
