PHOTO CONTEST 2025
There are four categories:

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.
