Default Memorial Garden


We are going to build a memorial garden to our baby Grandson who was 34
days old when he died.

His name was "Bailey".

I've looked at the RHS plant finder and one of the plants listed is
Narcissus "Bailey" but it was last listed in 2001.

Has anyone an old copy of the Plant Finder and can look up any
reference for us?

Or can anyone suggest where I can start looking for this Narcissus?

Thanks.

Steve and Liz

Carncairn Daffodils, Broughsbane, Ballymena, Co. Antrim, BT43 7HF.

Also there's genera Baileya (a daisy of some description), Baileyoxylon
and Austrobaileya, and many species baileyi, baileyorum etc. See

Acacia baileyana is a nice plant, but IIRC it's rather tender.

I too am so sorry to learn of your sad news and that it is a
lovely thought to create a memorial garden.



How very sad. My condolences also.

There is also a Rhododendron baileyi and a Meconopsis baileyi and I'm
pretty sure there's a Dianthus of that name, too.


There's a Dianthus called 'Bailey's Celebration':

Maybe the daff society could help:
