Here are the winners of the ADS awards for miniatures.
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.
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.)
The best container-grown miniature was ‘Little Oliver’ 7Y-Y exhibited by Steve Hampson.
The Spotts Ribbon is for the best collection of 5 standard or 5 miniature daffodils where green is the predominant color in either the perianth and/or the corona. In this show, it was five miniatures that won. The flowers are:
