The above info was in my REMC newsletter. For anyone who really enjoys daffs, this is the place to see a lot of varieties, up close and personal. For years I admired a daffodil named Rose, which actually smelled like a like a real rose. I finally added it to my collection late last fall. Others that stood out for me were the many pink (and white) varieties. I have seen it said that there are no true 'pink' daffs, but there are always many very pretty ones that looked pretty pink to me. Sue |

| Sue, where is Leota Gardens? |
|
| I believe Leota Gardens is the name given to the residence of Helen Trueblood...The organizer of the Daffodil Show and President of the Southern Indiana Daffodil Growers Society. Leota is a small community...actually a small crossroads in the country. There is a new covered bridge where the 2 roads cross. The Show is held in 'the Community Building' (barn)...within about 200 ft of the bridge. Helen lives across the road, and about 4 years ago, she told me she had 1500+ varieties of daffodils growing then. If time allows, she might accompany one on a tour of her gardens, (or a part on them) and I am always filled with questions about the many things she has growing. She once grabbed a spade and shared divisions of a sedum, and celendine poppy with me and a friend. She is 87 years old, and truly one of the most interesting and amazing folks I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Sue |

| Is it close to Louisville? |
|
| Yes...fairly close to Louisville. Scottsburg (exit 29) is 29 miles north of Louisville, and then it is about 10 minutes to Leota after exiting the Interstate at Scottsburg. |

| just 3 more days, so I thought I'd bring this back to the top here. Is anyone planning on attending? Exhibiting? Sue |
