2019 Joe Hamms Barn Show

Joe Hamms Show in his very nice barn (actually a large section of his house) is always a treat. His family and friends put in quite a lot of work to help keep his larger fields in shape, fully tagged and properly cared for.

It’s a very special situation for a great guy who hosts this daffodil show every year for all of us and the public to enjoy. Also, his fields are designated as an ADS Display Garden and have been for years now.

In this years show, as I’ve been saying in all these posts, the show was a bit small but for Joe’s show it was a very nice show. And as with all the other shows, the quality was outstanding. The Gold ribbon winner in this show was as close to the most flawless example of Fragrant Rose that I’ve ever known.

The next post will be the final one for this year with the photos of the Convention show winners. Another spring season goes by and the withdrawl of the daffodils passing becomes another painful time. We speak about the craziness of the obsession we call yellow fever, and we joke about it every year, but when the season passes it becomes all too real how deeply this passion is a part of our lives. The lifelong friends we gain because of this beautiful flower and the love we share among us.
