2013 Livermore Show – Standard Multiple-Cultivar Awards

This is the second of three posts with the results of the Livermore daffodil show. In this post I cover the collections of standard daffodils. The first post was about the ADS awards for standard daffodils that feature a single cultivar. The third post will be about the miniatures.

The winning youth collection of 5 was exhibited by Nick Swanson.  The flowers are – Back: ‘Fort Mitchell’ 1W-Y, ‘Miss Primm’ 2Y-Y, ‘Barrett Browning’ 3WWY-O; Front: ‘Falstaff’ 2Y-O, ‘Hot Gossip’ 2Y-O.

The winning classic collection of 5 was exhibited by Bob Johnson. The flowers are – ‘Matador’ 8Y-GOO (1958), ‘Torridon’ 2Y-O (1964), ‘Juel’ 2Y-ORR (1969), ‘Jetfire’ 6Y-O (1966), ‘Surfside’ 6W-Y (1972).  The classics era is defined to be 1940 through 1969, so I think I see an anomaly, but anyway here’s the collection.

  1. Kirby, thank you so much for your efforts getting the photos taken and then on to Daffnet.  It does look as though y’all had a few more blooms than we had in GA.  Weather, weather, weather … it always takes its toll LOL.

  2. All,

    Our California hybridizer who specializes in green standards, Bob Spotts, brought well over a hundred seedlings to this show.  Our season is running a little late this year, but that did not deter Bob’s seedlings with N. viridiflorus in their family tree.  In fact, I cannot remember Bob entering one named variety in this show, unless it was one of his own!

    Way to go Bob!
