How to Plant, and What to Plant...
Managing your Daffodil Collection
When you buy a bulb, how do you know what to do with it? How you plant depends upon what type of flowers you are trying to obtain. During his July 12th presentation Michael Berrigan will cover siting the planting, types of plantings, and choice of bulbs for naturalizing, pots, showing or for mixed plantings. An approach to managing your daffodil collection with these aims in mind will also be presented. Considerations for purchasing new, old, and gifted bulbs will also be outlined.
On March 28-29, 2009, the Greater St. Louis Daffodil Society annual daffodil show, “A Brunch of Daffodils” was held at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, Missouri.
The Design portion of the show had 10 separate adults and 4 youth exhibitors. Best Design of the show was won by Robin Gosnell. The Best Youth Design was won by Chris Raymond.
The Horticulture portion of the show had 14 participants with 264 exhibits that contained 590 blooms. Even though we scheduled an early show this year, plenty of wonderful flowers were staged in the Beaumont Room at the Missouri Botanical Garden.
