Dear Daffodil Enthusiasts, As I write this for our March newsletter,I am

participating in the Cornell Ornithological/Audubon Society Great Backyard Bird Count. We have always been avid feeders and have noted dramatic changes in our numbers especially in the past decade. We are to have rain or snow tonight and I'm hoping for the white stuff. It will drive the little darlings to the feeders and boost the numbers for my report.

Winter is a time of reflection for me and as I begin my last year as IDS president, I look to our club's future with hope and possibility. We have a strong partnership with Holliday Park, a working relationship with I.U. regarding Mrs. Link's property, and now we are establishing a connection with Ginny Roberts at the Marion County Extension Office. It is their program that supplies Indianapolis Public Schools with daffodil bulbs and Ginny bought our remaining stock on the second day of the Master Gardeners' Conference last September. It would be wonderful if IDS could sell to her again and it would be a big commitment on our part to dig at Mrs. Link's. But what better way do we have of keeping the Link legacy going? Ginny will speak at our upcoming meeting about the importance of having school age children connect with the earth and what this means in our society.

Our March meeting traditionally focuses on our upcoming April flower show. You have heard my lament again and again about the fact that few of you exhibit. This year, blocks and tubes will be

April 24-27 ADS 2009 National Convention April 24-27, Chicago Illinois

For all information, see this web site: ads2009convention.org

Convention Chair: Jill Griesse

IDS will contribute $100 towards Registration fee to first-time IDS Member attendees. More information At the March meeting!!

ADS 2009 TAN!C GARDEN.

Message from the President continued from pg 1:

available for you to take home and return with your entries to Holliday Park on April 16, our show date. We will also have an informal staging lesson if I

have blooms to contribute. As always, our show schedule will be distributed at the March meeting and interpreted for our "newbies". Please join us.

The American Daffodil Convention is in Chicago this year and as an incentive for first time attendees, IDS will contribute $100 towards the registration fee. See details elsewhere in this newsletter. If you are interested but uncertain, talk to me at our upcoming meeting.

Next year, 2010, the Central District of the Garden Clubs of Indiana, Inc. will be hosting the State Convention at the Hilton on the north side of Indianapolis. Their national president has a vision of planting daffodils from coast to coast and speaks in those terms. We have been asked to hold our daffodil show just as their convention is ending. I see this as an opportunity for IDS exposure and possibility of drawing like-minded people to our organization. This chance is a once in a lifetime opportunity to show our stuff but I cannot do it alone. My biggest concern is to not jeopardize the partnership IDS has with Holliday Park. I will tell you more at the March meeting.

I want you all to think about how you can contribute to IDS and what you have to offer. We will need members to step up to the plate regarding our fall election of officiers. I am looking forward to continuing as bulb sale chairman and relish not being president. I can however extend myself to others and am keeping a log fOr what needs to be done month by month by the President. FYI, one of the hardest things for me as president was coming up with two program ideas per year. So, in order to get a jump start for our next president, please bring at least one program idea with you when we meet this March. This club exists to serve you and answer your questions. Sara Kinne

From Suzy Wert: Daffodils have stages...

pencil - spear-like stem ; no color showing crook neck - stem has formed an L, no color showing colored up - spathe has opened breaking - spathe has totally opened, and the petals have come apart, but are still held together by the mucro tips open or full open.

Question from Sue Luken: When showing, does it make any difference what name

one uses, when there are several synonyms. Could one be disqualified for using the wrong one?

I came across one I am growing and have labeled as Barrii Conspicuus. Daffseek.org says it is on the ADS Histories List and is a synonym of Conspicuus

In looking at Conspicuus at Daffseek there is no mention of it being on the Histories list, and it says Conspicuus is a synonym of Constance.

In looking at Constance at Daffseek, it says Constance is a synonym of 'Joe'. In looking at Joe at Daffseek, there is no mention of it being a Historic, and under comments it say Absorbed"Constance'.

So...will the real daffodil please stand up? Is there one name that is correct, or more correct than the other? If one was showing it, would it matter what name was used?

Answer from Mary Lou Gripshover. First of all, yes the name is important. I can see why Sue is confused, though. Yes, 'Barrii Conspicuus' is a synonym of 'Conspicuus#', and so you should use the name 'Conspicuus' if you want to exhibit it. Note the # sign after the name. That means there is more than one daffodil that has gone by that name. Sue looked at 'Conspicuus' rather than 'Conspicuus#' when she was looking in DaffSeek which is why she came up with the names 'Constance' and 'Joe'. It's also important to remember that the correct name is the one that's the synynom OF the cultivar. So, 'Barrii Conspicuus' is a synonym of 'Conspicuus#' which makes 'Conspicuusg the correct name. You don't need the # sign on the entry card. It's just something to indicate that there's more than one flower of that name in DaffSeek. It's hard to sort out these things that go back into the late 1800s, and I'm not sure the RHS knows what ''absorbed" means today. I've asked, and the best I can gather is that they think

that the "absorbee" is the same as the one it was "absorbed" into.

Link Daffodils

Again this April, Trena Trusty will be coordinating volunteers to serve as docents at the Helen Link Daffodil field. The Link property off of State Road 67 about 3 miles south of Mooresville is owned and maintained by Indiana University through its real estate office. The Link Observatory parking lot is opened daily in the month of April while the daffodils are in bloom. Hundreds of visitors come by to walk through the fields. Trena is working to have docents on site during the weekends to help keep track of the number of visitors, answer questions about daffodils and the history of Helen's work with daffodils. Volunteers from IDS, Master Gardeners and others are encouraged to contact Trena to schedule three hour shifts for one of the weekends. Please call her at 317-996-2746 or email to trustygarden@ccrtc.com. While you are on site you can plan to take pictures, do some pollinating, mark clumps for digging and dividing later on, or just have a pleasant afternoon in the sun.. Your time will count towards award bulbs, and if you are a Master Gardener, you get volunteer hours, too!
