2019 was a challenging season in that we had a very mild, early flowering start with unusually large and frequent hailstone showers just as the buds were forming; so our early/mid season shows were dogged with bruised petals or ‘perfect holes’ in otherwise beautiful flowers. The unseasonably warm, early spring was challenging for us in still having flowers for our late local shows as well as for the ADS convention which was the latest in recent history (it seems our weather would have been better for this year and last year to have swapped so we have more flowers for both Minnesota and Dallas)! Spring 2020 has begun much slower with few blooms braving the weather, as, so far, we are having the wettest Winter on record with torrential rain, cold snaps and strong winds battering the field. Thankfully, although very wet, we haven’t flooded, unlike some of our neighbours!
2019 saw Dave head stateside for the first time and he thoroughly enjoyed the warm welcome from you all - so good in fact, it was hotly-debated as to who was going to Texas - Jules won!!
We have a ‘host’ of new daffodils to whet your appetites, from miniatures to standards; whites to oranges; Div 1s to 7s and lots in between! Bargains are to be found throughout, as well as in a special offer for 2 of our introductions.
Best wishes to you all for a happy and successful growing and showing season in 2020 and we look forward to seeing many of you around the circuit.
Dave and Jules Hardy
