Bulbs: Favorite Daffodils for "Show"?, 1 by tabasco

Hi, everyone--

I am thinking about entering our daffodil show next spring and I was wondering if anyone can suggest the best daffodils for the beginner to 'grow and show'?

I have about 20+ common varieties in our garden now, but I suspect some are better than others for 'showing'...

So, which ones are known to be prize winners?

Is it important to order from the Daffodil 'specialists' like Grant Mitsch http://www.web-ster.com/havensr/mitsch/

or will VanEngelen's and other general suppliers do?

And, are 'recent' introductions more successful than the tried and true in the shows?

Or does it depend mostly on the personal favorites of the judges, perhaps?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks. t.
