The Central Ohio Daffodil Society held it’s show in the usual venue of the Franklin Park Conservatory on April 20th. Again, as with most other shows, it was a small one but the quality in this show was probably the best than I’ve ever known in this location for my 30 years of doing this. The White Ribbon Winner of Killearnan is something to behold! I can’t seem to get over that entry! but all the winners were of the highest caliber quality that you would see in all of the shows that I visited this year.
On to the show!…
