Please carefully read and follow the GCA Rules, General Information and Timetable for Exhibitors. 2. Entries must have been owned and grown by the exhibitor for a minimum of three months, unless otherwise stated in the schedule. 3. All entries propagated by the exhibitor must be so identified with the detailed method of propagation and relevant propagation date(s) on the entry card. 4. Exhibitors are allowed two entries per class/subclass, provided they are different species or cultivars. 5. Wedging material will consist of cork. 6. Mats, stands, saucers, stakes and ties are allowed only as noted in the schedule. 7. Classes may be subdivided, and entries moved and/or reclassified at the discretion of the judges. 8. Containers are measured at the diameter or the diagonal of the widest point on the inside of the rim at the soil line. The length of cut branches and stems will be measured from the lip of the container to the end of specimen. 9. One key card (diagram/plant list) is required when multiple species or cultivars are exhibited in the same container and/or when propagation information is applicable. All propagation classes require information on method of propagation, relevant dates and growing conditions. Key card must be a 4” x 6”, white, unlined card and completed in black waterproof medium. A 4” x 6” photograph with identifying numbers may be used in conjunction with the key card. 10. The committee will water the exhibits if instructed to do so in writing. Notify the horticulture chairs at time of entry with written instructions for watering. 11. All classes will be judged according to the Scale of Points contained in The Garden Club of America Flower Show and Judging Guide - FS&JG, the most current Edition, which can be found on the GCA Website. GARDEN CLUB OF AMERICA RULES 1. Please carefully read and follow GCA Flower Show Rules, General Information, and Division Guidelines. All rules as provided in The Garden Club of America Flower Show and Judging Guide, the most current edition, shall apply. 2. All plant material must be correctly identified with the botanical and common names, if possible. Accepted references for nomenclature are: AHS A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants; The Plant List at http://www.theplantlist.org; International Plant Names Index at www.ipni.org or http://www.internationalplantnames.com; Plant Systematics at http://www.plantsystematics.org/; Royal Horticultural Society plant finder database http://apps.rhs.org.uk/ rhsplantfinder 3. The Garden Club of America expects all exhibitors to be aware of the need to promote conservation of endangered and threatened plants. Plants collected in the wild and listed by the New Jersey National Heritage Program may not be exhibited in any flower show sponsored by a GCA club. Cultivated plant material listed by New Jersey’s Natural Heritage Program may be exhibited if accompanied by a typed card stating that it has not been collected from the wild or that it was collected out-of-state and giving information concerning its cultural requirements and methods of propagation. Natural Heritage Program lists of endangered plant material is available online at http:// plants.usda.gov/threat.html. 4. Plant material showing evidence of insects or disease must be removed immediately from the exhibition area. This rule will be enforced at any time during the show, whenever the problem is identified. 5. All entries must include fresh and/or dried plant material. Fresh plant material must be in water or conditioned in such a way as to remain in pristine form while on exhibition. An entry not maintained in show condition may have its award removed. 6. Locally invasive plants, diseased plant material, artificial plant material, live animals (including fish), taxidermy, natural birds’ nests, feathers of any kind and protected sea life, including coral, are not permitted, http://plants.usda.gov/java/noxiousDriver GENERAL INFORMATION 1. An entry card must accompany each entry. Entry cards will be available at the show and upon request from the horticulture chairs in advance of the show. Information required on the entry card must be completed in black waterproof medium. 2. The passing committee must pass each entry before an exhibitor may leave the show area. The passing committee reserves the right to refuse any entry that does not conform to the rules of the schedule. The exhibitor has the option of correcting the entry, if time permits. If not corrected, the entry cannot be judged, but may remain in place, marked “For Exhibit Only” with a brief, constructively worded statement explaining why it was not judged. The judges may not disqualify any entry passed by the passing committee unless evidence of insect infestation or disease is identified. 3. Once an entry is passed, the exhibitor(s) must immediately leave the show floor. A passed entry may not be touched again by the exhibitor until after judging and then only to carry out necessary maintenance. 4. Only participating judges and clerks will be allowed on the show floor during judging 5. All containers and accessories must be inconspicuously labeled with the exhibitor’s name. 6. A novice is an individual exhibitor who has not won a first place ribbon or a GCA Special Award in the division entered at a GCA Flower Show, GCA Major Flower Show or Sanctioned Non-GCA Major Flower Show. An exhibitor winning a first place ribbon in a GCA Flower Show is still considered a novice in a GCA Major Flower Show or in a Sanctioned Non-GCA Major Flower Show or in another division of any flower show. In addition, an exhibitor who has won a first place ribbon or Special Award in a GCA Major Flower Show or Sanctioned Non-GCA Major Flower Show is no longer a novice in any level of GCA Flower Shows in the division won. Only individual novice exhibitors are eligible to receive the GCA Novice Awards or the Sandra Baylor Novice Floral Design Award. A novice exhibitor will be identified on the entry card, following the initial judging. 7. All exhibits must remain in place and in show condition until fifteen minutes following the closing time of the show. .

  • Sexual Polymorphisms in Narcissus Triandrus (Amaryllidaceae): Is This Species Tristylous?
    Heredity 78 (1997) 135–145 Received 5 February 1996 Sexual polymorphisms in Narcissus triandrus (Amaryllidaceae): is this species tristylous? SPENCER C. H. BARRETT*, WILLIAM W. COLE, JUAN ARROYO%, MITCHELL B. CRUZAN^ & DAVID G. LLOYD§ Department of Botany, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S 3B2, %Departamento de Biolog´ıa Vegetal y Ecolog´ıa, University of Seville, 41080 Seville, Spain, ^Department of Botany, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996-1100, U.S.A. and §Department of Plant and Microbial Sciences, University of Canterbury, Christchurch 1, New Zealand The sexual polymorphism tristyly is well documented in three flowering plant families (Lythra- ceae, Oxalidaceae and Pontederiaceae). Controversy has arisen as to whether the polymor- phism exists in Narcissus triandrus L. of the Amaryllidaceae. Surveys of floral variation in 80 populations in Spain and Portugal were undertaken to determine the nature of sexual polymorphisms in the species. Most populations (85 per cent) contained three discrete floral morphs that differ from one another in the sequence in which the stigma and the two anther levels within a flower are presented. Hence, the species is genuinely tristylous. Floral morph frequencies deviated strongly from the isoplethic expectations (1:1:1) typical of tristylous species. Average frequencies for the morphs were L morph = 0.59, M morph = 0.19 and S morph = 0.22. In 15 per cent of the populations sampled, the mid-styled morph was absent. Controlled crosses indicated that individuals are moderately self-sterile but cross-compatible with other individuals, regardless of morph. Therefore, the species does not possess a conven- tional heteromorphic incompatibility system.

  • (Updated) Daffodil Classification
    Introduction to the 2008 Register & Checklist (updated) The International Daffodil Register and Classified List (2008) is the twenty-fourth cumulative list of daffodil names to be published by the Royal Horticultural Society since 1907. The first was simply entitled List of Daffodil Names; the next sixteen became Classified List of Daffodil Names and the five from 1958 onwards Classified List and International Register of Daffodil Names. A Checklist was published in 1989. On publication of the cumulative list for 1998, the series title was altered to International Daffodil Register and Classified List. The list appears on the web at www.rhs.org.uk/research/registerpages/intro.asp, where it is routinely updated with corrections and amendments and annually with details of new registrations. New registrations are also published in print, as a Supplement to the Register each autumn. The word daffodil is used in the Register as an English common name for any member of the genus Narcissus. Daffodil Classification The 1908 List was the first "classified" list, announcing the introduction by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) of a new daffodil classification for garden and show purposes, following the "enormous increase of late years in the number of named Daffodils and the crossing and inter-crossing of the once fairly distinct classes of magni-, medio-and parvi-coronati" (p. xx). Seven arbitrary divisions were adopted, determined chiefly by measurement, but these were said in the 1910 List to have failed to meet with general acceptance. An expanded scheme of eleven divisions was then published which, with some small amendments over the years, served until 1950.

Remarkable resemblance of flower features between both species indi- cates that pollinator activity might have driven flower convergence. •A second chloroplast (trnT-trnL) phylogeny in sect. Apodanthi helps elucidate some evolutionary transitions in moulding heterostyly. Stylar dimorphism appears to precede distyly and style monomorphism. Population studies on style dimorphic and monomorphic species of Narcissus are congruent with a pollinator-mediated process also involved in a shift to monomorphism.
