Here are the winners of the ADS awards for miniatures.
Miniature Gold Ribbon winner
The Miniature Gold Ribbon is for the best miniature daffodil in the show excluding the Container-Grown section. The winner was seedling 2011-040-1 4W-O exhibited by Harold Koopowitz and Marilynn Howe.
Miniature Rose Ribbon winner
Miniature White Ribbon winner
The Miniature Rose Ribbon is for the best miniature seedling in the show excluding the Container-Grown Section. It was the bottom bloom in the Miniature White Ribbon winner, the best set of three miniatures in the show. It’s seedling 2010-056-2 4O-R exhibited by Harold Koopowitz and Marilynn Howe. I’ll let you ponder the criteria for the Miniature Gold Ribbon versus the Miniature Rose Ribbon such that 2011-040-1 (which is a seedling exhibited by its originator) could win the Miniature Gold Ribbon but not the Miniature Rose Ribbon. (Bob Spotts can explain it.)
Miniature Container-Grown Award winner
The best container-grown miniature was ‘Little Oliver’ 7Y-Y exhibited by Steve Hampson.
