Thank you, John. I am pleased that Harold and Kathy have received yet more recognition for their work. They are great bulb people!

The presentation was made by RHS President, Elizabeth Banks, and was for raising a miniature split-corona daffodil called 'Itsy Bitsy Splitsy'. Not my cup of tea, but it was great to see Harold's work with daffodils being recognized. Also receiving an award, in her case the Peter Barr Memorial Cup for meritorious work with daffodils, was Kathryn Andersen from Pennsylvania - Kathy is also well-known as a lily and Clivia enthusiast, and is quite indomitable in pursuit of plants. There are pics (and much the same text) on my blog. John Grimshaw Visit John Grimshaw's Garden Diary http://johngrimshawsgardendiary.blogspot.com/ Dr. John M.
