That's right. Different colors may have different meanings on different flowers, too. Add to this the implied meanings by putting different flowers and colors together... There's a nigh endless amount of possibilities. You say you are not very knowledgeable, But you still demonstrate more thoughts and care than most people buying bouquets.
Yellow tends to evoke positive feelings. Joy, happiness, warmth. But it is also related to friendship... And daffodils are known as the flower of unrequited love, besides being a birthday flower for March. You are correct that it's not unique enough - let alone appropriate - for him.
I would recommend keeping the jonquils as tertiary flowers, But paperwhites may be a good alternative to daffodils. It is a narcissus much like daffodils, but carries the meaning of unconditional love and faithfulness. They are predominantly white. It would be perfect, I think.
For the red flower however... Rather than go with a choice that holds meaning, I think it should be a choice you make because you think he'll appreciate the flower. Something personal - the meaning here is infused by you, rather than being innate.
This way the bouquet will have all three aspects: The traditional aspect (jonquils), the personalized aspect (paperwhites) and the uniqueness (your choice). What do you think?
