All growers are invited to exhibit. The Public is invited. Admission is Free The Midwest Daffodil Society, Inc. We are a group of daffodil hobbyists who wish to share our interest, expertise, and energies on behalf of the most prolific and beautiful flower of the spring season. Membership is open to all with an interest in growing, studying, or showing daffodils, at only $5 per year. For details, contact a member or see our website at www.MidwestDaffodil.rg. We meet at the Chicago Botanic Garden and at other locations in the Chicago area. We sponsor a bulb sale in October and this show in late spring. The 2015 Midwest Daffodil Society Show The Show is divided into a Horticultural Division and a Design Division. The Horticultural Division has many judging categories based on type, color, and number of blooms displayed and for special collections or other recognized categories. Cut daffodils, container-grown daffodils, and species or wild daffodils may be shown. Judging is based on a standard method of assigning points for condition, form, color, pose and other characteristics. The Horticultural Division is sanctioned by the American Daffodil Society. We have sections for Unnamed Daffodils to encourage broader participation. Anyone who grows daffodils is welcome to exhibit. Our program schedule reflects changes made by the American Daffodil Society in their efforts to make competition in such shows more representative of the large variety in daffodils and to make the shows more interesting. As always, one of the main criteria is to allow more opportunities for growers to receive recognition for their special efforts. Judges are approved by the American Daffodil Society. The Design Division consists of arrangements and stagings of daffodils according to special themes established each year. Judging is on the basis of artistic design, creativity, and use of materials according to established guidelines. Judges for the Design Division are from the Garden Clubs of Illinois.
