The Connecticut Daffodil Show at the Christ Church Greenwich, CT had it’s judging on April 26th, 2023. It was a great show, and I thank Gaby Hall for our outstanding reception and the success of the show. I took some pictures.
I’m going to start with the Best Intermediate Collection of 5 stems exhibited by Dianna Bowdich. This collection not only won the 5 stems, but the best intermediate, the Gold Ribbon and the Purple Ribbon.

Nice photos, Clay! Thanks for taking and posting them. It was a beautiful show and it was good to see you and Fran, Nancy Mott, and other new and old daffy friends. I took a few photos during staging and only got one snap of the show table at the front of the room before I had to catch the train back to NYC. I would liked to have had time to see the show and the designs!
Nice of you to post pictures of the real show. That is, people staging for
the show. I always miss that part because I’m one of those staging. I like
those pictures.
