Here are the miniatures exhibits that won ADS awards at the 2017 Murphys show. If an award is not mentioned, it means there were no entries competing for that award.
Miniature Gold Ribbon and Miniature Rose Ribbon Winner exhibited by Box Spotts
The Miniature Gold Ribbon is for the best miniature daffodil in the show, excluding the Container-Grown Section. The Miniature Rose Ribbon is for the best miniature seedling exhibited by its originator. The winning flower was seedling 2-32-17 2P-P. It may not be obvious from this photo, but the perianth has a faint tinge of pink. Even if you perceive the perianth as white, it’s still a fine miniature. The ruler at the bottom is calibrated in centimeters (or millimeters depending on your point of view) so that you can get an idea of the size of this seedling.
