ADS Daffodil Educational Displays:
Below are PDFs for a set of four colorful educational displays created by the American Daffodil Society in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota. These displays are sometimes referred to as the ADS Daffodil Exhibit Banners. The design and production of the initial sets of large fabric banners were partially funded by the National Science Foundation. The American Daffodil Society retains the copyright on these materials, but will allow the following PDF files to be printed and displayed for educational use only, such as for garden talks, schools, and daffodil shows.
For reference, the banner "Trace the path to pink" is legible when printed by a professional printer on paper at a size as small as 8-1/2" by 20".
