This new van der Veek introduction has a small frilly cup and is white all over like Hudson Bay late in the spring before the winter ice finally melts. A very tall and very late Daffodil. Henry Hudson's first trips to North America were financed by the British. The Dutch East Indies investors our bid the Brits to finance Hank's voyage to find the Northeast passage. As soon as Henry got his hands on those guilders he sailed due west and discovered not any passage at all but Manhattan instead.
