Show results information are presented in the following format:
the identification of the

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

Comments from Bob Spotts,
President Northern California Daffodil Society (3/29/04)
Daffodil Friends,
For me, the Fortuna Show was a remarkable
one. The preceding weeks of hot weather meant most of the regular
contingent of exhibitors were bloomed out and had relatively few
daffodils to enter. But, there were many new exhibitors, gardeners who
saw the publicity for the show and took the plunge to bring flowers
for the first time. Truly, I've never seen a larger or stronger
"Small-Garden Section" in a West Coast show than was in the
Fortuna show. (Bill Pannill a new exhibitor entered a colorful, large
and sturdy bloom of 'Chromacolor' 2W-P that would have made you proud!)
Yes, the show was small - and entries
overall would have been relatively skimpy without the visit of Steve
Vinisky from Oregon to the north. But, the arrival of several new
exhibitors hints that the future of this show is bright.
Again, the Dian Keesee and the Fortuna
Garden Club managed the blooming of many dozens of large pots of show
cultivars. This assemblage of potted daffodils in full bloom was a
stunning sight inside the entry-room. The pots were sold by the FGC at
very reasonable prices to provide income to offset show expenses.
The Grant Mitsch Daffodils display and the
Cherry Creek Daffodils display, together with the potted daffodils
made an awesome greeting of color to the public visitors!
A new and appreciated twist was the lunch
for exhibitors, judges, and helpers that was provided by the
vocational class from the high school. Those students have certainly
learned the nuances of cooking and catering!
Congratulations to Show Chairman Dian
Keesee and her supporting FGC staff for hosting a fine show under
difficult weather conditions.
Bob Spotts
PS. The judges selected an Intermediate,
'Little Tyke' 2Y-Y, as Best in Show, and 'Dainty Miss' 7W-W as Best
Vase of Three. This followed the selection of Intermediates for the
corresponding awards in Murphys the previous week. This is certainly
the year for smaller flowers on the West Coast!
