What makes a 'real' daffodil? Prospective judges learn the ropes

A group of daffodil enthusiasts, including the Goudsouzian couple, attended a workshop led by internationally renowned daffodil breeder Rod Barwick in Hobart's northern suburbs to learn how to judge daffodils at flower shows. Barwick explained the technical aspects of daffodil classification, including the structure of petals, the distinction between different floral parts, and the importance of maintaining the integrity of the flower for judging purposes. He compared the process to a beauty pageant, emphasizing the role of both male and female reproductive parts. The event was organized by Barwick and his niece Janelle Noble, president of the Claremont Flower Show Group, as part of efforts to boost participation in flower shows. The session aimed to educate attendees on the criteria used to evaluate daffodils, reflecting a growing interest in horticultural activities.
