On sunday we made it into Kyneton (Central Victoria) for the Spring Flower Show which always features Daffodils because of the Historical links.
Here's the Champions table, most of the top awards won by Ian Dyson, except for the Miniatures which went to the McConnells

Fred Silcock is a local breeder and he usually puts up a great display - no exception this year!
Here's a look at the display and some close-ups

THANK YOU Fermi for these photos - some lovely seedlings there. It's getting me excited about next season. I'll have to dash out and look at all my pots of gravel, if I look at the labels I can dream of daffs to come.

Some of the floral art at the Show featuring daffs;
I think the theme for the first one was "spring" - seems appropriate!

Great display, Fermi. But I think it's a bit cruel putting that lamb in front of that picture of a roast!

Hi
Fermi, the N. scaberulus does not look right. It should be smaller and with prostrate foliage.
The weather here has continued to be cold and in recent weeks very windy.
However, today it was somewhat warmer and the wind had stopped blowing.
