2016 Middle Tennessee Daffodil Society Show – Cheekwood Botanical Gardens

Hello Fellow Narcisophiles!

The MTDS Show was held in it’s usual location of the Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. This was the start of the season in the southern midwest as far as I’m concerned.

The quality of the flowers this year seems to be quite good. It seems to me that the quality of the seasons 1st shows, indicates the quality of the flowers for the rest of the season.

The Winners shown here are captioned with the descriptions.

I’ll be attending up to 7 shows this year, so it might take quite some time to post them all.

This show, along with the East Tennessee Daffodil Society are posted to my Facebook page now for those of you who are my friends on Facebook.

The 1st ones are special Viridiflorous seedlings that were potted up last fall by Carol Smith. They were all fantastic!
