English Award (Grown under other conditions)

English Award (Grown under other conditions)

We were delighted to have Roger Braithwaite bring flowers from England to the 2016 World Daffodil Convention show. Since ADS show regulations require that standard be grown out in the open, we needed to keep the competition fair to other exhibitors by subdividing the English collection class into those where all flowers were grown in the open and those where flowers might have been grown under cover. With the subdivision, we had two English Award winners. Here is one exhibited by Roger Braithwaite. The flowers are:
Back: ‘Saxonbury’ 2Y-Y (Burr), ‘Barbara Ann’ 2W-W (Postles), Postles CPS 304 1Y-O, ‘Entrepreneur’ 2W-P (Postles), Postles CPS 16-1 4Y-O.

Goethe Link Award

Goethe Link Award

Americans remember Helen Link, but the award was given by her in memory of her husband, so it’s the only ADS award not named for a daffodil luminary. The ADS defines “collection” as five or more, so three is technically not a collection, but it seems reasonable to show the Link winner here. This is one of the three classes in the Challenge Section that permits the flowers to be grown under any conditions – like in a greenhouse. Hence flowers in this section are not eligible for the Gold, Rose, Miniature Gold, or Miniature Rose Ribbons. The flowers are exhibited under the name of their hybridizer. The exhibitor of the winning entry in the class for three bred by the exhibitor was Nial Watson. The flowers are:
W740 [11aY-Y], W750 [2O-O], W1113 [1Y-P].
No classifications were given (or required), so the classifications in brackets are merely the interpretation of the show recorder.

Murray Evans Trophy

Murray Evans Trophy

The Murray Evans Trophy is for the best exhibit of the class in the Challenge Section for six hybridized by the exhibitor. Exhibitor of the winning entry was Elise Havens. The flowers are:
Top row: ‘Astute’ 2W-O, ‘Emperor Concerto’ 2YYW-WWY, 3YH2/1 2YYW-P;
Bottom row: ‘Relativity’ 2YYW-Y, ‘Proliferation’ 7W-W, SH32/2 2YYW-W.

William G. Pannill Cup

William G. Pannill Cup

The ADS Challenge Cup has been renamed the William G. Pannill Cup. This class in the Challenge Section calls for twelve daffodils hybridized by the exhibitor. Exhibitor of the winning collection was Nial Watson. The flowers are:
Top row: ‘Mzungu’ 2W-W, ‘Muiranna’ 1Y-Y, W960 [4Y-Y], ‘Regal Glow’ 1Y-Y;
Middle row: W750 [2O-O], W739 [1Y-P], W987 [2Y-OOR], W858 [2W-Y];
Bottom row: W743 [2W-WWP], W741 [2Y-O], ‘Clean Sweep’ 3W-WWY, W105 [2Y-Y].
