Blooming marvelous: Daffodil sprouts 10 flowers from a single stem
THIS flower has gone blooming mad in the spring sunshine.
The daffodil has produced 10 heads from a single stem, making it look like an entire bunch instead of a single flower.
It grew from a bulb planted by Tazmin Beckett, 13.
She only saw the spectacular results of her green-fingered handiwork when she returned to the stables in Redhill, Surrey, where she cares for a horse this week.
It’s got 10 heads. I didn’t think they could grow more than one – it’s wonderful
Tazmin said: “When I saw it I was so excited.
"I said to my mum ‘Look mummy, it’s got 10 heads.’
"I didn’t think they could grow more than one – it’s wonderful.”
Tazmin’s mum Fae has dug up the fancy flower and is keeping it in a safe and secret location – in case it gets targeted by thieves.
The 54-year-old school cleaner, from Tadworth, Surrey, said: “It had been growing like all the other daffodils with one head but at the weekend Tazmin said it had sprouted loads.
“It is fantastic. It’s now in a secret location as someone was bound to nick it because it was all out in the open.
“I’m not sure how much it’s worth, but we’ll definitely be keeping the bulb.”
