PHOTO CONTEST 2025
There are four categories:
Landscape, Creative, Artistic, Individual Plant
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!".
INDIVIDUAL PLANT - focus on one plant - a clump, single fan, scape in bloom or single blossom. We are looking for beauty in the photo as well as beauty in the plant that is the focus of the photo.
CREATIVE Winner: Kathy MacKay
