Here are three photos of the displays in the lobby of the Capital Ballroom at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Sacramento where the national show was held March 10 and 11, 2017.
Maria Krenek’s Artistic Design
Maria Krenek from Eureka, California prepared this design of panning for daffodil gold.
Esker Farm Daffodils Display
Esker Farm Daffodils, of Omagh Northern Ireland, has taken over the Ringhaddy business. The owners are Jules and David Hardy. Jules was in Sacramento to attend her first American Daffodil Society convention.
Ironstone Vineyards Display
Kautz Ironstone Vineyards hosted the 2010 ADS national convention in Murphys and continues to host a Northern California Daffodil Society local daffodil show. The crew from Ironstone transported show properties to and from the Sacramento National show and refrigerated some of the flowers after the convention to take to the local daffodil show in Murphys (at Ironstone Vineyards of course) the following weekend. Several people admired the show properties fashioned out of redwood which were also used at the national show in 2010 at Ironstone. What most people don’t know is that the Ironstone landscaping crew spent one winter fabricating all these properties for us.
