‘Tanzey Girl’ is such an extraordinary grower and performer here in the
north. It generally (for me) produces elongated, smallish bulbs, which
fool the eye for what they eventually produce the following spring. The
plant’s vigor and size, rapidity of increase, and abundance of thick,
leathery, sun resistant flowers make it one of my best in my field. And
for those of you who observe and admire a daffodil’s foliage—an
important aspect in the garden, I feel—it too is superior. Erect,
stiff, and quite deep bluish-green, and in good proportion to stem
height.
What a perfect contender it should be for better jonquil, split-corona,
and double breeding… Crossed x ‘Conestoga’ and applied to a number of
Ron Scamp’s well-formed, stiff-stemmed splits, the future may well be
quite impressive!
Just superior!!! Thanks for posting this and the other lovely flowers!
