In this post we will cover the standard single and three stem results.
Best in show was “Lesley”, exhibited by Karen Cogar. Peter Ramsey has hybridized some superior daffodils over his career, but it was going to take something special to bear the name of his wife, Lesley. This cultivar was beautiful and elegant, much like the person it was named for.
The White Ribbon went to a vase of three of “American Dream”, shown by Mitch and Kate Carney, which showed superior color.
WDS has special awards for the reserve best in show, as well as the Culpepper Award for the best white, and the Ticknor Award for the best division 5 through 9 cultivar. Photos of those, as well as the ADS ribbon winners, are shown below:
