HAPPY SUMMER GROWING SEASON!
The ECA website received the following note from Connie (Mayhew) Kropp:
Hi I’m the person that the chrysanthemum was named after. I was 2 at the time when I was taken to the royal Easter show, my nan showed me a picture that was in the magazine she had but it got lost after her death I never thought I’d get to see it so if you could tell me where I may find this flower I’d be chuffed, the picture was in black and white often wondered if it was yellow thanks you made my day Sincerely Connie Mayhew Kropp.
I gather by her E-Mail address that she is in Australia. More on this story as it becomes known.
