Hi all my Daffy friends. This past weekend, March 16th, The East Tennessee Daffodil Society had their show at the usual venue of the UT Horticulture Center (Ellington Hall) on the Agriculture campus. It was a small show, but thanks to the later season of the more southern contingency, there were some very nice and not often shown flowers. The Gold ribbon was a stand out stem of Stoke Charity, exhibited by Greg Freeman which was just about as bright white as the poets. The next show is the Kentucky Daffodil & Bulb Society Show in a couple weeks. Tom
