David’s message:
I am a local parish councillor in Ponteland, Northumberland, in the UK, and I’m looking for information about a gentleman called Gordon Harrison, who bred daffodils and lived in this area before his death in 1971. I have obtained from the Royal Horticultural Society a list of all the varieties that he registered, and would like to try to obtain some of his varieties to plant locally, as a memorial to him and his work. His daughter still lives in the area, though herself now in her seventies, and it would be lovely to plant a memorial display in the near future. Any information about him or whether anyone still has any of his varieties would be of immense help. Many thanks.
