NCDC Show....

Hosting its 45th annual daylily show at Brookside Gardens in Maryland, the National Capital Daylily Club did itself proud. The setting was beautiful...



Yours truly was privileged to be a Judges' Aide....it was very interesting and informative...I highly recommend it...it's a whole new way to see things...

We'll take a little look around and you get to see what I was interested in....please excuse the photographer's inability to adjust the light settings on her camera...(something to learn...one day)...

Here are a few off scape entries:

EMERALD STARBURST...


SABER TOOTH TIGER...


MONOCACY SUMMER MIST...


and SEBASTIAN THE CRAB...


It's always amazing what folks do who arrange daylilies...


One of the many reasons to attend a show is the opportunity to see daylilies that you might not otherwise...

DANCES WITH GIRAFFES...


CRYSTALLINE ENTITY...


GETTING AIRBORNE...


This is a pretty weak picture of the head table...where all the category winners are advanced...


(nice view out the window, though...)

Award winner OCEAN SPIRIT...


Best Seedling in the show...exhibited by Margo Reed...


some views of the future....

A Jim Murphy seedling...


(Did you notice all the buds on that one??) ...another Jim Murphy seedling...


Two Margo Reed seedlings...


Well, I needed to scurry on home, so shortly after my duties were done and the quick tour above was had, I headed back to Virginia....where my own daylilies awaited me. If you were curious, I didn't enter anything in this show...I'm still learning about all that. I did enter a few things at the RADS show which was held a week earlier....I'll get to those pictures one of these days...

Gotta Comment? Great! Thanks in advance for taking the time. I'll get back to you as soon as possible, assuming I'm not in the garden...because there, I lose all track of time...(Don't you?)...Take care now.
