Let me set the stage. Jim and I were talking about going to daffodil hill, fifty miles away. Kautz Ironstone Winery does a great job with a daffodil show of their own. You walk their extensive gardens and view barrel after barrel of gorgeous flowers. Not only daffodils but tulips and pansies and hyacinths. They host a daffodil show, inside, which to me is less interesting than the gorgeous outside gardens.
It was all the more enjoyable because the weather was perfect, but the flowers speak for themselves.

Still, Kautz advertises this as a Daffodil Show. And people every year come from miles around to show off their efforts.
In one area undercover, but out-of-doors, is a contest of daffodil bouquets. Kind of reminds me of place settings at the County Fair. They are interesting.
This particular setting won a silver bowl. Suffice it to say, there is a lot to see if you decide to attend next year.
Again, setting the scene, this is the daffodil show room. Their placement and how they are judged is for you to see by attending. I question how anyone can choose one daffodil over another since they are all beautiful and here you find perfection.
