The Plant Expert has fabulous information on daffodils, tulips, and more.  It takes you through the different divisions of them with great explanations so it is easy to identify flowers with many pictures too.  I was able to positively identify both the tulip variety I had as well as the daffodils since the packaging was confusing.


A yellow daffodil with a long trumpet. The solitary blooms appear on leafless stems. Basal leaves are green and usually strap-shaped. Daffodils are excellent for naturalizing along wood's edge, or as an underplanting in the perennial border or ground cover bed. Planting depth is roughly 3 times the width of the bulb. If planted in well drained soil, daffodils are virtually disease and trouble free. Once finished flowering, allow foliage to flop over and dry out. Divide if flower production or size has dwindled.  source
