The Central Ohio Daffodil Society Show was held on April 19 and 20, 2008. The weather cooperated this year and the show was very nice; the quality was high as you have seen from Tom’s photos. We appreciate all Tom’s hard work; he showed and won many classes; he Judged; took photos and then had to go home and edit them for daffnet! Makes me tired just thinking about all he does for us!
We had 341 exhibits; 26 exhibitors; 12 artistic arrangements and 681 blooms. Thanks to Creative Arrangers and Serendipity Garden Club for the artistic arrangements; they add so much to the show!

There was a lot of comment at the Show about the quality and depth of color in the flowers this year. We had a lot of visitors go through the show and as usual the comment was “I didn’t know there were so many kinds”; and “do you really grow these in
