Best article on fancy daffodils

My sister lives in Fairfax and recently forwarded an article on our hobby and obsession by Adrian Higgins which appeared in the Washington Post Sunday Magazine on April 29.

The text is very well written and the opening carries the theme: “I’ve been to a fair few flower shows in my time, but only one bloom has bewitched me sufficiently to force me to cross the line from observer to participant…. My siren is the daffodil.” There are quotes by names familiar to folks here and in the ADS: Kathy Welsh, Bob Spotts, and Steve Vinisky. And the slide show, developed from the illustrations in the article which were taken from Daffseek, has a terrific selection of some of the most show blooms we see.

Be sure to check this article. I intend to duplicate it and to use it in promoting our local society.
