Round and stuffed!

Dear All, Having read Peters remarks about looking not looking at cup when judging I thought you might like to see these two pictures I took at The Daffodil Society Show this year. Two exhibitors from the North of England (John Peace & Barry Hogg) travelled down to Warwick with both cups and perianth protected with cotton wool and card. Although I had seen the card behind the perianth to help stop it reflexing, this was the first time I had seen the cup filled with cotton wool to help it keep its shape. It is this attention to detail that helps make an exhibit stand out and catch the judge’s eye. Just in case, I can reassure you that both card and cotton wool were removed before judging! Today sunning my self in 25C (77F) sun and light breeze, the UK today one of the hottest countries in Europe, now that does make a change! Regards to all,
Ian

  1. Ian,

    I have seen this a lot in the Mid-Atlantic states, not to name names but all you have to do is look at the current top of ADS.

    However, there are others that believe that we should show them the way the are naturally grown in the Garden.  I’m a cross between natural as they are grown and the one who does a lot of grooming, short of stuffing the cups and providing the rings behind the perinths.
