We had our Otaki Horticultural Society Daffodil SHOW ON Friday 6 September .A one day show , but as the season is well advanced here , we had a good muster of central area exhibitors and about 400 flowers benched .Wilfred Hall and Wayne Hughes handled the judging , with Wilf as final selector , doing the premiers and champions . 
Champion bloom was a very flat and smooth JAMORE , a Kiwi redcup with a very good show record .Never a hugh flower , it was still of good size and very smooth and well coloured .
Reserve Champion was another Kiwi flower that is quickly building a good show record .BALLISTIC was very round , well layered double with great stance on a good size flower .Both were grown by Otaki local , yours truly John McLennan , who staged a lot of flowers and had a good show .
Premier Yellow Trumpet was a big and bright CAMEO SUN from Reg and Reta Cull.
Premier 1 Y – o was OHAKUNE, shown by John McLennan .
Premier reverse bicolour and also Premier Historic was SPELLBINDER ,beating a host of much smaller Trumpet Warriors ,and showing what a great flower it was many moons ago .
MOPOKE was the premier bicolour from a very good vase of Mopoke and MacDalla from Ralph Mountfort .
PINK SILK was the final trumpet premier , again well grown by Ralph Mountfort .
