As chairman of the RHS Advisory Sub-Committee on Narcissus Classification
I have been following the discourse concerning the definition of division
9 on Daffnet with a great deal of interest. The International Daffodil
Registrar, Sharon McDonald, on 12 October 2011 said on Daffnet that the
consultation paper on which the Sub-Committee has been working would be
sent to individual registrants and national daffodil societies and would
also be posted on Daffnet. It will contain two options for change and be
accompanied by independent notes of support for each one. The options
have been published in the Daffodil, Snowdrop and Tulip Yearbook 2011 on
page 75, which will give everyone a preview. I urge everyone interested
in the future of division 9 to study these two options and the supporting
documents when they are posted and send their opinion direct to the
International Registrar.
