And in due time the wonderful streaked daffodil, "Narcissus Triandrus Striatum, The Good Comrade," grown by Miss Snooks of White's Cottage, Halgrave, was exhibited at the Temple Show. And bulb growers, professional and amateur, waxed enthusiastic over it. And the general public who went to the show, admired it or not, as their taste and education allowed them.
There is perhaps no country in Europe which has so interesting a flora, especially in spring. In March in the granite north the ground under the pine-trees is covered with the exquisite flowers of the narcissus triandrus, while the wet water meadows are yellow with petticoat daffodils. Other daffodils too abound, but these are the commonest.
But I can't; the old fool that's got it won't sell it for any price, and he can't half work it himself. It's a blue daffodil Narcissus Triandrus Azureum he calls it; or rather, to give it its full title, Narcissus Triandrus Azureum Vrouw Van Heigen; so called, I believe, in honour of his wife, or his mother."
There were six roots by this time; not so many as had been hoped and expected, it did not increase well, and was evidently going to be difficult to grow. "Would you like to know the name which it will immortalise?" the old man asked at last. "It is called Narcissus Triandrus Azurem Vrouw Van Heigen." "You named it in honour of Mevrouw, I suppose?" Julia said. "I did not; Joost did."
She stretched out her hands, and he put something into them; then he stepped back, and the carriage drove on. It was not till the gateway was passed that she realised what it was she held a small bag made of the greyish-brown paper used on a bulb farm; inside, a single bulb; and outside, written, according to the invariable custom of growers "Narcissus Triandrus Azureum Vrouw Van Heigen."
