All will require some aspect of a daylily or garden with daylilies included.


LANDSCAPE show at least one daylily plant in a photogenic scene ideally highlighting your own gardens but any garden is acceptable.


CREATIVE manipulated images, can include photos of paintings, digital artwork and photo-shopped images.


ARTISTIC an image of a blossom with insects or frogs or something that gives the viewer a sense of "Ahh isn't that interesting!".
