About 300 flowers were entered for the show and Orange and District Horticultural Society president Robert Smith said entrants came from Lithgow to Canberra and everywhere in between.
“It’s incredible that we’ve got so many daffodils and that we have carnations that bruise so easily in the wind and wet, there are other spring flowers that just aren’t here because the weather has stopped it,” Mr Smith said.
Graeme and Anthony Davis bred all their entries and won grand champion daffodil and the reserve was won by Rob and Nola Slarke. The most successful exhibitors in daffodils were Glenn and Chris Shedrick.
