As soon as breeders do not name the varieties they have bred - both by the names of objects and natural phenomena, and the names of relatives and prominent people, and simply sonorous phrases! It's always interesting to know whether this is a random choice or certain flower does it really evoke a specific character for the flower growers who created it?

Many of the tens of thousands of varieties of daffodils are named famous people, including the Barrett Browning daffodil » from the small-crowned group. The famous Dutch breeder J.W.A.Lefeber registered this variety in 1945, immediately after the end of the Second World War, and work on its creation went on for many years. The result is an elegant, discreet variety early date flowering. The perianth lobes are elliptical, white, slightly yellowish when blooming. The flower is small, about 8 cm in diameter. The crown is cup-shaped, light orange, corrugated, with a darker orange border. Crown diameter 2 cm, height 1 cm. The variety is suitable for group plantings, for forcing into winter time. Reaches a height of 40-45 cm, reproduces well. How did this modest flower remind Lefebre of the talented English poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning?

Elizabeth was born in the century before last, in 1806, into the family of a planter from the West Indies. Her family had its own secret. Whether this is true or not, there were dark-skinned people in their family (which could well have been, on plantations everything is possible), so the head of the family, Mr. Barrett, did his best to prevent the matrimonial intentions of his children. And there were a lot of children in the family; Lizy had two sisters and eight brothers. She lost her mother early, was a homely, sickly, serious child, she read and composed a lot herself. Poems, poems, articles, first literary success, and at the same time illness, nervous breakdowns, difficult treatment. When Elizabeth was about thirty years old, her family moved to London. Her life was spent almost in captivity, she spent whole days in a dark, stuffy bedroom, chained to the couch. Rare walks with her sister in a wheelchair, rare visits from friends, rare letters... In her words, “she lived like a bird in a cage.”

This went on for several years. And finally, the sleeping beauty woke up. A handsome prince appeared, an energetic young man who was able to encourage her not only to marry against her father’s will, but also to run away from home and secretly leave the family. Think for yourself, was it easy for a girl from a decent family, in prim England, in the strict nineteenth century, to decide on this? But it was impossible to resist the pressure of the young (he was six years younger than her) talented poet Robert Browning. It all started with correspondence, then the first meeting took place, which changed everything. From somewhere came the strength, the desire to move, to act. At forty she started new life, got married, moved from gloomy England with her husband to sun-drenched Italy, three years later gave birth to a baby, and at the same time did not give up her literary activity. The amazing love of two talented poets was reflected in poems and letters (their correspondence was published in two volumes). She remained forever in Italy, in the English Cemetery in Florence, he outlived her by more than twenty years and was buried in Westminster Abbey in London, but it seems that their feelings are alive now, in their poems.

Elizabeth Barrett-Browning. If you love

I love you so much? I love you beyond measure.

To the depths of the soul, to all its heights,

To transcendental sensual beauties,

To the depths of existence, to the ideal sphere.

To the needs of everyday life, to the very first,

Like the sun and a candle, simple worries,

I love as truth is the root of all freedoms,

And, like a prayer, a heart of pure faith.

I love with all my tart passion

Unfulfilled hopes, with all the childish thirst;

I love with the love of all my saints,

Those who left me, and with every sigh.

And death will come, I believe, and from there

I will love you even more.

Robert Browning. Kiss

All the breath of a blooming summer is one bee -

The wonders and wealth of the world are just diamonds -

Pearl heart - radiance and shadows of waves -

Truth is brighter than a diamond, sincerity is purer than pearls -

All this together and much more

In your kiss, woman.

Robert Browning. Confession

Do you think I'm tired of my life

And I see it as a valley of wasted tears?

To me the deathbed looks like a pedestal

And I am on the tombstone above the coffin in which I lay down.

You think I can’t reach the edge of the table

Pharmacy bottles wrapped in labels?

But it doesn't matter - I'm out of my corner

Attics and attics are clearly visible.

And there, under one of the highest roofs,

In the open frame, slightly in the back of the window

I see a woman and her gaze is open.

And, Lord, have mercy, how beautiful she is!

And I forget the pharmacy milestones,

I close my eyes and hear my pulse dancing.

And I silently think that how sweet it is to live

And feel the incomparable taste of love with the palate!

Perhaps it was precisely so that we remember these two talented poets that the breeder named his variety that way? And how interesting it would be to collect on your site at least a small number of varieties of trees, shrubs, flowers bearing the names famous people. In this case, you can show guests not only beautiful plants, but also talk about outstanding figures from different eras, because a gardener should not be interested only in plants and land, but be a well-rounded personality.

The Narcissus varieties stand out in particular. They were bred as a result of quite a long hybridization followed by selection.

So, in 1961, 9312 of their species, varieties, and varieties were registered in the International Directory of Daffodils. All of them are divided into 11 groups under common name Hybrid daffodils.

Daffodils- one of the most common bulbous plants in our gardens. They are beautiful and unpretentious, have a wide variety of shades and shapes, and go well with other spring flowers: tulips, crocuses and hyacinths. Daffodils grow well in both open and slightly shaded areas, protected from strong winds. Daffodils are best suited to light sandy loam soil rich in humus with a neutral or slightly acidic reaction. The soil should be loose, breathable, and well-drained, since stagnation of water leads to poor growth and soaking of the bulbs. Best time landings in middle lane Russia - from mid-August to mid-September, in the south - in October. The area for planting daffodils is processed in advance: the soil is dug up, river sand and humus. The bulbs are planted at a distance of 15-20 cm from each other to a depth of 12-15 cm. For the winter, the plantings are covered with a 15 cm layer of dry leaves or straw. In the spring, after the snow melts, the shelter is removed. From the moment of emergence of seedlings, systematic loosening of the soil is carried out. If there is a lack of moisture (if there is no rain), watering is necessary throughout the growing season. Fertilizing is carried out the first time in the spring, at seedlings, the second (nitrogen and potassium) - during budding, and the third (phosphorus and potassium) - during flowering. After flowering, the ovaries are removed. After the first frost, daffodils are covered with dry leaves (15 cm), straw, and spruce branches. Daffodils can grow in one place for many years, gradually turning into “wild” flowers. As the flowering shoots decrease, the bulbs are dug up and replanted. Harvesting and dividing the bulbs is usually carried out after 2-3 years. From mid-August, after the leaves die, the bulbs are dug up, dried and stored until the next planting at a temperature of +16..+18 C.
