I wasn't expressing admiration for the person, but I think cultivars of
plants named for celebrities are frequently distinctive. I love the miniature
rose 'Amy Grant' even though I'm not a fan of hers. This daff just looked like
a winner, and totally different from anything else I have.
Mabe Van Engelen was not at fault, though the order also included Crocus
'Goldilocks;' Anemone blanda 'Blue Star;' and Tulip 'Little Beauty,' but Scheepers
(you know the connection) completely lost the order I had sent the same day.
When I finally called to find out what had happened, some of the things I had
ordered were sold out. I think they have a problem in their order
department.
It's another lovely day so maybe I can get the rest of the bulbs in.
