I just told the NCDS mailing list that I would post pictures of the ADS award winners on Daffnet and that they should subscribe to Daffnet soon if they want to see the pictures. I will stall for a couple minutes by first posting some pictures taken at the Livermore daffodil show that may be or ought to be of interest to some Daffnet subscribers.
We have a new award in memory of Robert Jerrell donated by Tom Stettner for the best standard pink daffodil. Robert Jerrell was a member of the Northern California Daffodil Society long before I was. He was also a hybridizer, and you can find a few of his cultivars by searching on his name in Daffseek. He was interested in breeding pinks (among other interests), so it is appropriate for an award in his honor to go to the best standard pink in the show. So here it is. It is Pink Silk 1W-P exhibited by Rosemary Scholz. NCDS thanks Tom Stettner for this award. The connection is that Tom is growing on and naming some of Robert Jerrell’s seedlings.
