During this year’s Proflora Trade Show in Bogota, Colombia DV’s Tim Dewey received a huge surprise from Fides, a company that specializes in breeding and propagation of cut flowers. Thanks to a series of conversations over the past year between Grand pop Bob Wilkins, Federico from Tahami, and Bas and Juan Camillo from Fides, the decision was made to name a new flower variety after Tim’s 12 year old daughter Maisy. The baptism of the variety, a white cushion pom pon, occurred during the show. Tim was honored to have been a part of the ceremony.
It was 17 years ago when Tim, in conjunction with Juan Carlos Hannaford from The Elite Flower Company named a new “test” rose variety after Tim’s first daughter. The “Charlotte” rose went on to become the most popular red rose for a number of years in North America. Tim’s second daughter, Constance, has a pink spray rose named after her grown in California by Eufloria Flowers. It was only fitting that Maisy be included in the “Dewey” tradition.
Here are more pictures of the event and a link to the Fides website.
Congratulations to Tim and Maisy on this great honor!

Oh and I am not a Liverpool or Chelsea supporter, even so the way the Liverpool fans were still singing You’ll Hardly ever Walk alone when their team was losing and the game was almost finished was charming. Big respect.
