Although this show did not attract as many entries as expected the overall quality was very good. The photograph below shows just two of the six runs of daffodil staging.
The seven entries in the Richardson Trophy class for 12 cultivars from at least four divisions (below) proved impossible to photograph except over the staging of the Bonzai competition.
Collection classes are not photogenic, so here are the winners instead.

Not Daffodil related, but at least from the north. Two sides of the four-sided Silver-Gilt winning stand for Tulip Day by the Wakefield and North of England Tulip Society.
I have tried to send a message thanking you for a wonderful and up to date website but the CAPTCHA code won’t let me through.
Thanks for this website. I have thoroughly enjoyed browsing through it.

Apologies, there has been a problem with CAPTCHA. It should be OK now.
Thanks for the photos, James. The display by the Wakefield and North of England Tulip Society took a lot of work. (I’m glad that clicking on the photos enlarged them.) Congratulations on the Silver Gilt Medal.
The website always has something interesting.
I actually thought the show was very well supported and did attract more entries than Wisley last year, especially in the collection classes. I would just like to point out that the bloom of Dorchester which won best division 4 was in fact my bloom.
