2024 Daylily Show

The MCDS 2024 Daylily Show was held at the Upper Arlington Public Library on June 29, 2024. We had a total of nearly 300 flower entries including 200 on-scape flowers and 100 off-scape flowers! This was thought to be one of the largest daylily shows ever sponsored by the MCDS. The show also included 4 daylily designs (flower arrangements) prepared by members Karen Ciula and Debby Colvin. Photos of the award winners are shown in the photo galleries below.

The Best Double was Dorothy and Toto entered by Fred Blyth. The Best Miniature and Best Small Flower were Wilhelm and Black Velvet Baby, respectively, entered by Angie Maly. The Best Large flower was Faith Healer entered by Cathryne Redenbarger. The Best Extra-Large flower was Mama was a Pistil entered by Steve Williams and the Best Seedling was entered by Mark Williams. The Novice award was won by Robyn Fauth.

The Bill Johannes Sweepstakes Award, for the largest number of blue ribbons, was won by Angie Maly. Karen Ciula and Debby Colvin both won the People’s Choice vote for their design entries. Bob Cochran won the People’s Choice vote for his off- scape flower Italian Summer. Sharon Johnson also won the People’s Choice vote for her on scape entry.

Congratulations to our show chair Arielle Lucius and our co-chair Gail Johannes for organizing and managing an excellent show! We are also very grateful to all the MCDS members who set up the show, prepared design arrangements, and submitted on-scape and off-scape flower entries. We also appreciate the time and efforts of the show judges who traveled to Columbus to judge the show.
