Happy Weekend All Daffodilians!
My apologies for the late posting. This week has been quite a challenge.
This show is held in Joe Hamms Barn that is built into his home in Washington PA. Most years this show is the same weekend as the Pittsburg show and competes for exhibitors. This year, with the weather causing delays across the country as well as some changes in show dates, Joes show experienced flower that would not normally be shown at his location. Normally, only the very latest flowers would be shown at this venue, mostly poets, but not this time! There was quite a varied example of divisions, from cyclamineus stems all the way to poets and species!. In fact, the Small Growers Ribbon was Rapture!
The Gold Ribbon winner was Round Oak 1Y-Y exhibited by Suzy Wert and taken from her winning Throckmorton entry. Each photo will quote the flower names where recorded, otherwise just the exhibitors name. The Bozie, Havens, and Throckmorton were not captured formally but WERE Awarded. The Havens exhibitor was Sara Kinne, the Bozie was my entry and the Throckmorton was exhibited by Suzy Wert. I have posted a few of the design winners here. Sorry for the arrangements of the photos. I can’t seem to get accustomed to this website very easily.
Sadly, this is the final photo show posting of the season, :-(
*** Update *** I’ve been told that “Paul’s Glory” was named by Dr John Reed in honor of Mary Lou Gripshovers late husband Paul. I love those types of names!
