All (update – the Historic 5 stem with Single stem winners description was added now) sorry to Stacy Wilson that I didn’t include the historic 5 and single wins in my 1st post.
The MTDS show was held at the usual Cheekwood Botanical Garden, but in a different building since the usual building is being renovated. It was a rather small area to have a show, BUT it seemed to work well.
I was hoping this would be a larger show and when I saw Mike & Lisa Kuduk pull up, I knew it was going to be great. Thankfully I think they brought their entire bloom at that time and the show was very nice, still a bit small for Nashville. Still, it was SO nice to see everyone and have another show!
The Kuduks exhibited and won the Tuggle, Quinn, Havens, Intermediate 5, Standard Red White & Blue, Standard White from the Tuggle as well as the Gold that came from the Tuggle. It was great to see such a variety of cultivars!
The Purple was a collection of div 1 blooms which contained Siegfried Bauer, bred by Spud Brogden. I hope Spud is happy with this specimen. Photos below. The rose ribbons, both standard and mini were exhibited by Becky Fox Matthews who says she doesn’t keep records of the crosses. The mini rose was a hit with most since it was something she called a “Stuffed Cup” where the cup contains more segments and really does look ‘stuffed’. The standard Rose was a beautiful true orange rimmed 3W-YYO.
In Support of Ukraine, there was a 3 stem of “Kyiv” at the welcome desk.
This is all for now. The next show is the Indiana Daffodil Society a week from Friday. More to come after that.
Supporing Ukraine, this 3 stem of Kyiv was on display at the front desk.
