Title: Galanthus nivalis 'Miss Tep'
Post by: michael broadhurst 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.

Any more misses? Actually, 'Miss Terious' would be a good name - bags I that one.

Post by: Alan_b on November 29, 2016, 08:16:32 AM: 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.

And with Matt involved clearly not a 'Miss Dee Meanour'
