The Oregon Daffodil Society held its second show this past weekend in Portland, Oregon at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. The show is held jointly with the American Rhododendron Society, Portland Chapter.
High winds, driving rain, light hail, and generally miserable weather was the pattern for the three days before the show as well as the show weekend. There were very infrequent sun breaks but intense periods of 40 mph winds which kept the bloom count to 773.
The overall show was a success with many outstandingly beautiful daffodils.
The Gold Ribbon was won by Elise Havens with a FLAWLESS, gorgeous bloom of ‘Classical Age’, 2Y-Y.
