On behalf of the daffodil growers of New Zealand I would like to congratulate Dr John Reed of Niles, Michigan on being this years recipient of the Peter Barr Cup presented by the RHS.
Johns varieties are only just starting to be grown in New Zealand and have had several Premier Bloom awards in recent years. There are a number being grown here that should be on the show benches shortly.
Congratulations John, a thoroughly deserved award.

Brilliant. Well deserved even if a long time in coming. Congratulations John.
It is wonderful to know that more people will be enjoying your beautiful daffodils in their home countries. Your contributions of quality daffodils have been recognized by all.
Congratulations John!
John has given a large part of his life and labored long and hard toward the improvement of daffodils. His accomplishments are many! Certainly a well deserved award. Congratulations John!
Congratulations, John Reed, for being recognized and honored all over the globe! I enjoy having a good many of your cultivars in my garden!
Congratulations John, well deserved so proud of you.
I also want to congratulate my friend John Reed on this very well deserved award.
John has worked long to improve daffodils through his breeding program. As well, he has helped other hybridizers by giving them his seedlings that he hoped contained traits they needed. This significant award is one he deserved but never sought. Congratulations, John!
