Dear All,
As a postscript and for those of you who love stuffed cup!
While judging at Kirkham I came across two flowers of Rapture with stuffed cups, the exhibitor had not noticed and put them in a vase of 3 much to our amusement Keith Capper and I named them Double Rapture or Stuffed Rapture!
I’m not sure if this was a mutation or sport but I’m trying to obtain the bulbs to grow on!
This I’m sure would put the cat amongst pigeons in Div 8
Ian :o)
Sorry I’m going Mad!
Div 4 I should have said, with all this doubling 4+4 = 8!
Ian :o(
Ian it will be interesting to see if it is stable next year. My neighbor bloomed a double, double flower like a Telemonius plennus that has continued to double every year and often puts on two flowers to a stem. It is a riot, just overdoes itself. Nancy Wilson
Ummm …… How does an exhibitor NOT notice this??? :)))
Hi Darrin,
The lady exhibitor had never shown a daffodil in her life and confessed to me that she never looked inside the cup, just picked them and put them on the show bench, I afraid this eagle eyed judge dropped on it strait away!
So the exhibit was not considered for a prize but was not NAS as at this show we need to attract exhibitors not put them off!
She was thrilled to have a novelty exhibit, so that made her day.
