2023 St Joseph Valley Daffodil Society Show Wins

The St Joseph Valley Daffodil Show is thanks to Dan Bellinger who resurrected Dr John Reeds show as this is pretty much in Johns neighborhood at the Fernwood Bot Gardens in Niles Michigan. For those who might wonder, this show does not offer any ADS Classic awards. The next show will be my last post for this year. Joe Hamms show is the season finale’ and the party show. Sad sad sad.. :-(
