CODS SHOW

The Central Ohio Daffodil Society Show was held on April 16 and 17th at Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio.

Tom Stettner photographed the show, we appreciate all Tom’s hard work; he also Judged and was going to go to Joe Hamm’s to take photos of Joe’s flowers. Hard working guy and we sure do thank him for all he does for us!

 

We had 283 exhibits; (one less than last year) 19 exhibitors; (1 more) 12 artistic arrangements and 583 blooms. (33 more than last year)  Special thanks to the wonderful designers for the artistic arrangements; they add so much to the show!

Ohio weather really makes our show interesting; last year we were late season; this year early. The colors this year seem to be especially vivid; maybe all the snow cover and rain?? I really want to thank everyone who brought flowers; judged; clerked; set up; entered designs; torn down or in any way helped to make our show a success. Special thanks to Cindy Cimprich and Naomi Liggett  for all they do for the show!

 

Happy digging,

Phyllis Hess
