Old Wordsworth would have died of pleasure if he had wandered into the upcoming Blayney Daffodil and Spring Flower Show on Saturday, September 10.
The Blayney Daffodil and Spring Flower Show is part of the Blayney Agricultural and Pastoral Show, just six months later, and steward Dianne Toohey is excited to be back organising the show after a two year break.
"The show is one of only four in NSW and the ACT," she said.
"It attracts daffodil growers and enthusiasts from around the country."
The other locations for daffodil shows are all in the colder regions where bulbs reign supreme Canberra, Portland and Orange.
Mrs Toohey said that the classes range from novice to professional and being a spring flower show, other flowers are accepted.
