The Central Ohio Daffodil Society Show was held today April 17 and will be again tomorrow at Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio.
Tom Stettner photographed the show we appreciate all Toms hard work; he also Judged, then drove a couple hours home to start editing them for daffnet!
Makes me tired just thinking about all he does for us!
We had 284 exhibits; 18 exhibitors; 12 artistic arrangements and 550 blooms. Special thanks to the wonderful designers for the artistic arrangements; they add so much to the show!

We were amazed to see so many flowers in the show as Central Ohio is past peak. So this year we really thank everyone who brought flowers; judged; or in any way helped to make our show a success. Special thanks to Cindy Cimprich and Naomi Liggett for all they do for the show!

Hoping to get a slight rest this week! Please excuse any mistakes, it is late and anyone who knows me well knows I dont usually get up at 6 AM so I am tired, but happy.
