THE TALLER ROSE After Claremont Show our American visitors did a whirlwind tour of local Daffodil growers. At Glenbrook we were delighted to be able to host the touring party for a Sunday supper - and lunch and a Daffodil walk on the Monday before they departed. It was an inspiration to us to meet such enthusiasts. In homely style we wined, dined and even sang. One great guy, with maybe a twinkle of a tear in his eye, said to us, "Ah never thought ah'd come haff -way round the world to sing - The Yeller Rose of Taxis". No, you never really know what growing Daffodils will lead to. Page 34 Page 55
