Galanthus nivalis 'Miss Tep'
« on: November 25, 2016, 04:53:21 PM »
From Michael,
Some of you may have read about a new snowdrop cultivar from Anglesey Abbey called 'Miss Tep' (Daffodil, Snowdrop and Tulip Yearbook 2016, page 53.
I would like you to know that none of the staff at Anglesey Abbey have any knowledge of such a cultivar, so don't go there expecting to see it!
Does anybody know anything about this cultivar?
If it did come from Anglesey Abbey we must assume that it was obtained by 'unofficial' means unless somebody can provide another explanation.

Sounds rather worrying, Michael - though I must say the level of  shenanigans present in the snowdrop world is a constant disappointment to me so not entirely surprising.

So there really is a 'Miss Behaving' and a 'Miss Adventure' from Anglesey Abbey and a 'Miss Wilmott' and a 'Miss Mowcher' originating elsewhere.  And now the mysterious impostor 'Miss Tep' from we don't know where.
 
Any more misses?   Actually, 'Miss Terious' would be a good name - bags I that one.

Well the grumpy gardener would probably be drawn to the cultivar 'Miss Ann Thrope'...

There is, of course, the one named for the esteemed campanologist and pillar of The Salvation Army Miss H. Ann Bell ::)

Given that it was named by Matt Bishop but the people at Anglesey Abbey seemingly were unaware of this, 'Miss Tep' really isn't at all a bad name.

Another good one Alan. This has been a fun string. We will all be on the look out for his new drop which clearly was not Miss Named.
