Hi Daffnetters,
Still rather quiet on daffnet ; – an excuse to show a little more of our beautiful country — with daffodil associations .
Some of the first double daffs that I ever saw were the [ new ] Richardson doubles , Fiji , Tonga, Hawaii , Tahiti and Papua that my first boss imported
in 1969 after visiting the U K one year earlier.
I was intrigued that all were Pacific Islands and wondered what the link to the names was.
When , twenty years later, I had a few seedling doubles that I thought were worth registering , I descided to keep the Island name theme
going and use New Zealand islands , loosely continuing the Pacific theme.
Arapawa Island is at the entrance to Tory Channel , the main entrance to Picton , the port for most ferrys sailing between the North and the
South Island.It takes the boats into the shelter of the sounds and a beautiful hours cruise into Picton.
I, sure many of you will recall the journey with pleasure.
