2018 Niles Michigan Show Winners

All

This show, hosted by Dan Bellinger and the members of the Indiana Daffodil Society was put on at Fernwood Botanic Garden & Nature Preserve in Niles Michigan, only a few miles from John Reed. Since the season was greatly delayed, only the very earliest of things were opening on show day, so they had to rely on visitors from other states and parts of the midwest to help fill up the show.

It was a good time for sure.

Photos below. Stay tuned for the next, and last show winners photos from the show at Joe Hamms place in Washington PA.
