Northern Daffodil Club Early Early Show

Early early Show Champion

Early early Show Champion

Hi All,

On June 15th the Northern Daffodil Club staged its early, early table show as part of the club meeting. This is the first time the club has staged a show so early in the season and it gave an opportunity for the very early varieties that are rarely seen to be exhibited. Despite the early date there was a good turnout of flowers. It was very interesting to see the progress that Graham Phillips has made in the breeding of early varieties for the cut flower market.

Champion Bloom was awarded to an unknown Wilf Hall division 8 seedling exhibited by Margaret Liddell. It was a beautiful flower with the florets evenly spaced and nicely coloured.

There was also a good display of early flowering minis, mainly bulbcodiums exhibited by Graeme and Faith Miller and my self.

Our next table show is on Monday July 20th , there should be quite a few more flowers around then.
