Fw: Gloucester VA Daffodil Show (Msg B) Double Campernelle (4Y-Y 1601)
Next follows a beautiful example of the highly variable Double Campernelle (4Y-Y 1601). These two photos of this blue ribbon exhibit show it at its best. It was entered by Melanie Paul of Hampton, VA.
Gloucester VA Daffodil Show (Msg A) (Content 1W-WWY 1927)
Jim Taylor of Ruther Glen, VA entered a lovely (1W-WWY 1927) named Content. It is not often seen, but the blue ribbon is well-deserved.
Fw: Gloucester VA Daffodil Show (Msg 9) Golden Spur (1885) a 1 Y-Y
After Aflame is Golden Spur (1885) a 1 Y-Y about which A.M. Kirby in his 1910 book “Daffodils Narcissus and How to Grow Them” says “if (I) could have but one daffodil (I) would chose this” .
Fw: Gloucester VA Daffodil Show (Msg 8) Aflame (3W-YOO 1938).
Susan Perrin of Mare? Neck?, VA won a red ribbon with Aflame (3W-YOO 1938). It is striking but I’m told the cup fades with the slightest provocation.
