Just a few more from the T,Bay Show .All nice Photos supplied by Margaret Seconi , a great supporter of the Wellington region shows .Wilfred Hall has a very good line of 2 Y – O intermediate seedlings ; all are well within the 80 mm range , very smooth and some great colours .Sorry , no sdlg number but this is a classy seedling .Pinto Pony is also a good intermediate , raised by Denise McQuarrie .Quite a distinctive , bright flower .
The first show of the season also meant that the tazettas were also peaking for Wilf Hall . A very good vase with PANCHALI , EURYTHMIC and FENCOURT JEWEL .Also another good vase of seedlings .
Another good tazetta from Wilf , WH , T 24 .
Also a few double seedling of mine , a smooth 4 W – Y , o6 – 29 . A very full and smooth pink double , good form but some back greening and to heavy for a weak neck . JFM 012 – 25 .
We expect fine tazetta , intermediate and poet seedlings from Wilf ; he surprised with a nice double seedling W T H , 10 – 2 .
A very different seedling here from Margaret .Perhaps not what you would expect from ARCTIC BAY — X — HAMPTON COURT , May be next year .! !
One here for Daffseek please Nancy .
An early Kiwi pink cup from a prominent N Z amateur breeder of the 70,s and 80,s , Don Bramley ..Don was teaching in the Wairarapa at the time a young Margaret Seconi was commencing her teaching career .He was very influential in starting and assisting Margaret on her daffodil journey . .Unfortunately , not many of Don,s flowers were well distributed ; – Margaret treasures the few she has and DIAMOND LASS , 2w – p , D BRAMLEY , 1970 , REG 1984 is one she appreciates .
Great photos John. I really like the Pinto Pony intermediate from Denise. I must agree that the colour is fantastic.
Keep the photos coming please
I’m very taken with Wilfred Hall’s 2Y-R Intermediate I was likewise attracted to Eskedos the South Island Intermediate premier 2011 also by Wilfred and shown by Alistair and Joan Davey. They are of particular interest since I grow some of John Gibson’s Craig Stiel progeny
Thanks John for copying the photos for me. I look forward to some Hutt show ones coming up now especially the Champion Blooms for the NDSNZ site & that of our two new NDS/Central members, Gordon & Diane Purdie with their novice bloom. Nancy, can the Show Champion blooms be taken from these photos for the NZ website please? Also the Diamond Lass photos for Daffseek. That would save me sending them to Denise.
