   Hi Daffnet,

   According to the The International Daffodil Register (2008) First Supplement, page 4 ‘Baby Boomer” is a  7 Y-Y. The ADS should have a copy of the registration in hand before publishing anything. Guessing is not  acceptable.

   went out this afternoon to look at my pot of Baby Boomer to check 
   the label, and it says 8Y-Y which is what the ADS Databank says.  This 
   means I made a mistake somewhere in copying the name from the pot 
   label to the traveling label to the exhibit label to the photo log to 
   Daffnet — most likely after making the exhibit label for Junior Miss. 
   I see that in Brent & Becky’s Bulbs catalogue Baby Boomer is given as 
   division 7.

2. Sorry, Daffnet, the mistake is mine.  The Databank says the registration is from the 2008 RHS Supplement, and I obviously made a typographical error, hitting the 8 instead of 7 for the division.  Daffodils to Show and Grow correctly lists Baby Boomer as 7 Y-Y.

    

   It would be nice to have registration forms in hand before adding anything to the Databank or DaffSeek, but there are many flowers which are never registered, and we add what information we can from the sources available.

3. Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I’ve looked up the registration form for ‘Baby Boomer’, and it says 8 Y-Y.  Obviously it was changed sometime before the Supplement was published to 7 Y-Y.  This probably doesn’t matter to most of you, but it does explain to me why ADS had it as a 7 Y-Y for DTSG (from the catalog) and then changed it to 8 Y-Y based upon the registration form.  The Databank and DaffSeek will be changed to read 7 Y-Y.

   Daffseek also needs to change the pedigree chart for ‘Baby Boomer’. There are two ‘Avalanche’  registered, one by de Graaff Bros. in 1905 as 1 W-W and another by T.M. Dorrien Smith in 1955 as 8 W-Y. The pedigree in Daffseek is for the 1 W-W. This is a classic example where the same name has been applied to two different things.

5. That’s already been taken care of, and will appear in the next DaffSeek update.

   Daffseek should state the information is not from the International Registration Authority and may be subject to change.
