We have had a request from the Gardens Curator at the Atlanta History
Center for information about bulbs, either native or introduced, that
were grown in the area before 1860.
If you know of references or sources, I would be pleased to pass them
on, or you can write directly to John Manion
jmanion@atlantahistorycenter.com
Sara van Beck in Atlanta might have some of the kinds of information being
requested. She has made the study of daffodils in the South a significant
hobby. In addition, Russell Studebaker, a garden writer in Oklahoma, has done some
research on the use of daffodils by Cherokee people in cemeteries.
I can furnish an email address for Sara if anyone wants to contact me
privately. I might be able to find some contact information for Russell as well.
This pertains only to daffodils in the South.
