Goethe Link Award winner; Exhibited by Nial Watson

Goethe Link Award

The Link Award is not named for a daffodil person but was donated and named by Helen Link in memory of her late husband Goethe Link. The award is for the best set of three different daffodils in the ADS Challenge Section. The Challenge Section is for daffodils exhibited on behalf of their hybridizers. Usually the hybridizer is the exhibitor, but an exhibitor can, with the hybridizer’s permission, enter flowers on the hybridizer’s behalf. Since flowers in the Challenge Section are permitted to be grown in glass houses, they are not eligible to compete the the Gold or Rose Ribbons where the candidates must be grown outdoors. Incidentally, the Challenge Section allows entries to consist of miniatures (or even a mix of standards and miniatures), but the entries are usually all standards. Anyway, the best exhibit of three contains ‘Little Alice’ 4Y-O, W930 2W-P (‘Lapwing’ x ‘Brooke Ager’), W685 1Y-YPY (‘Filoli’ x (‘Rose Umber’ x ‘Thistin’)). The exhibitor and hybridizer was Nial Watson.

Murray Evans Trophy winner; Exhibited by Nial Watson

Murray Evans Trophy

The Evans Trophy is for the best collection of 6 daffodils in the Challenge Section. The flowers in the winning entry are: Back row: W254 1W-W (‘Empress of Ireland’ x ‘Silver Sabre’) (Bender Ribbon winner), W327 1Y-Y (‘Tenterfield’ x ‘Barnum’); 2nd row: ‘Hope House’ 2Y-O, W-722 1W-YPP (‘Pink Silk’ x ‘Pink Delight’); Front row: W859 2W-WWP (‘June Lake’ x ‘Hawaiian Skies’), ‘Hot Lava’ 2O-O. The exhibitor and hybridizer was Nial Watson.

And that takes care of the standard collections for the 2014 ADS national show. Any award not mentioned means the class had no entries or the entries did not meet the minimum standard for the award.

 

 

5 comments for “2014 ADS National Show – Standard Multi-Cultivar Awards

  1. Darrin’s comments about one of her flowers that was mis-named prompts me to write this note.  Jack Hollister included a bloom marked ‘Rimmon’ in several of his lovely collections.  I’ve never seen ‘Rimmon’ 3 W-GWY with an orange edge to the corona, but I’ve no suggestions for the name.

  2. Thats interesting Mary Lou. I have a cultivar here, imported directly from the UK, named as Rimmon but which usually flowers with a red rim.

  3. Interesting, indeed, Dave.  Mine came directly from Northern Ireland many years ago.  So who knows?

    Mary Lou

  4. Dave and Mary Lou,

    I have had ‘Rimmon’ for over 19 years and got it from Marie Bozievich who said she got it from Brian Duncan.  It blooms to the color code 3W-WGY.  It looks 3W-WWY to me.  Marie said it was called Rimm-on.

  5. Clay,

    I am happy to accept that what I have may be misnamed. I just wanted to share that there may be a world wide problem with a misnamed Rimmon. I too have been NAS’d with this cultivar when entered in the 3W-Y class. I see that I got mine from Alf Chappell who, I assume, imported it from somewhere. Another problem is that the red rimmed cultivar has very similar form to the true Rimmon.

    Dave
