This  one  has  a  great  record  in  the  early  season  U K  shows  ..
In  our  area  it  is  usually  well  finished before  the  show  season  but  colour,
quality  and  consistency  are  the  marks  of  this  big  ,  bright  flower  .
 
Terminator  —  2 Y – R 
 
Are  all  the  top  blooms  of  Terminator  we  see  from  the  U K  ,  pot  grown ??  .
Cup  shape  can  be  a  problem  ;  not  many truly  round  cups  in  this  group  .
 
Cheers  John

  1. Hi Roger, John and All,

     

    Terminator is an enigma with us here.  It is vigorous and makes large flowers.  However, I have never seen one without a wonky cup.  I threaten to throw it out every year but the bulbs are so nice that it inevitably gets planted back.  I have never seen one in NZ as good as those in the UK but even there the cup is problematic.  The best one I have ever seen was Reserve Best Bloom at the RHS Show in London I think grown and shown by Roger.  Even it had a cup defect.   

     

    Your season is well ahead of ours John,  Terminator has goose necked but is probably ten days away from flowering.  We are at least 10 days behind last year.  Visited Robin Hill’s patch yesterday – he also is well ahead of us even though he lives only a few miles away.  He had lovely blooms of Cameo Gem (another that suffers from cup distortion but not in this case),  Sulphur Monarch, Florence Joy, and some of our numbered seedlings.  It is good to see Robin back amongst the exhibitors!

     

    Cheers,

     

    Peter
