Next follows a beautiful example of the highly variable Double Campernelle (4Y-Y 1601). These two photos of this blue ribbon exhibit show it at its best. It was entered by Melanie Paul of Hampton, VA.
Jim Taylor of Ruther Glen, VA entered a lovely (1W-WWY 1927) named Content. It is not often seen, but the blue ribbon is well-deserved.
Thank you, Paul Botting for posting pictures! Blog: www.gloucesterdaffodils.blogspot.com The Garden Club of Gloucester 60th Annual Daffodil Show held Saturday, March 27, and Sunday, March 28, at the Page Middle School, Gloucester, Virginia, attracted 1,752 blooms entered by 134 exhibitors…
After Aflame is Golden Spur (1885) a 1 Y-Y about which A.M. Kirby in his 1910 book “Daffodils Narcissus and How to Grow Them” says “if (I) could have but one daffodil (I) would chose this” .
Susan Perrin of Mare? Neck?, VA won a red ribbon with Aflame (3W-YOO 1938). It is striking but I’m told the cup fades with the slightest provocation.
