Oregon Daffodil Society – Show #1 At the Amity, OR Daffodil Festival

Amity, Oregon is about  an hour and a half drive southwest of Portland, Oregon. This was the 20th year for the Amity Daffodil Festival. It is important to note that ALL of the Amity Daffodil Festival activities/events that make up this community event are planned for, managed, and staffed by the Amity High School Hospitality, Tourism, and Management Class! The entire event is “done” by High School Students.

The Best in Show (Gold Ribbon) was ‘Pacific Rim’ 2Y-YYR. A lovely example of this superb flower. Exhibited by Peggy Tigner.

  1. The bloom of Pacific Rim was nearly perfect! Congratulations to Peggy Tigner. And to Elise Havens for creating it!

    Hot Shot is an exceptional split-cup, and you have more phenomenal splits coming in the future as your postings have shown. The 3 blooms exhibit of  Signorina was stunning – must have been close balloting to decide the White Ribbon award.
