Hi All,
Lionel Richardson was a very keen horse racing fan. He named many daffodils after race horses. Here are just a few,
Arkle, Red Rum, Devon Loch, Mill Reef, Gambler’s Gift, Pinza, Sir Ivor, Reynoldstown (I think), Gay Kybo, Gay Time, Gay Trip. These are a few I know of and I am sure there are many more but I haven’t the time to research the names in daffseek. There are 11 cultivars with the prefix Gay. Who would bet that they are not all race horses.
