The beautiful banner at Alden Lane announcing our show!
Show results information are presented in the following format: the identification of the award; the name of the cultivar(s) and possibly the division (a number from 1 thru 13) followed by the color of the petals, a dash, and the color of the cup;and the name of the exhibitor.
Some of the daffodils have multiple colored petals and cups, so you will see more than one color identified between the dashes. For more information about the classification of daffodils see Classification Definitions.

Notes from Show Chairman Kirby Fong
It’s been a colder than normal winter in Livermore, California, and the season is about two weeks later than usual. Fortunately, many of the bulbs I refrigerated before planting last fall were happy enough to bloom in time for our show this past weekend.
One of our long time members Sid DuBose passed away last year, thereby eliminating the source of all the flowers we used to provide for the artistic designers. We decided to have a photo section this year in lieu of the artistic design section. Sid also supplied the clippings from his redwood tree for us to use as wedging material. Fortunately, Alden Lane Nursery where we hold our show said we could go out and clip the boxwood hedges in their parking lot. How do you like that — a venue that comes complete with wedging material!
