"Church Chleomes"
PHOTO CONTEST WINNER
January 2004
Gloria Gusler
Gloria writes: "I have been helping with the flowers for our church flower bed for several summers now.  These are cleome that I planted this year.  There also were pink petunias and then rows of purple alyssium.  I got many, many compliments from them.  I though they were a great example of God's goodness to us!"

"Mother's Rose"
PHOTO CONTEST WINNER
June 2004
Teresa Carroll
North Carrollton, Mississippi
Teresa writes: "I gave my mother this rose bush for Mothers Day one year.  After her death, we dug it and moved it to my yard in the summer of last year.  All summer and winter the bush stayed strong and grew.  This spring, it bloomed profusely for several months giving me a wonderful show of blooms.  It makes me happy to think maybe my mother in heaven had something to do with it and is happy that I now have the rose bush."
 
"Bright Whites"
PHOTO CONTEST WINNER
July 2004
Grayce Pedulla Dillon
Fort Pierce, Florida
Grayce writes: "I love the way the whites came out without any over-exposure.  I also like the angle and the yellow center."
 
"Dad's Best White Daylilies"
PHOTO CONTEST WINNER
August 2004
Margaret & Barbara Owens
North Quincy, Massachusetts
Margaret and Barbara write: "We bought our Dad's Best White daylilies from you a year ago.  Their big wide-open creamy flowers are surprisingly sturdy and long-lasting, giving us a day-and-a-half of bloom.  We have planted them next to a chartreuse barberry, purple flowered germander, and burgundy coral bells.  We love the effect."

"Tradescantia virginiana"
PHOTO CONTEST WINNER
October 2004
Katy Stein
Potamac, Maryland
Katy writes: "What I like best about this photo is that using a macro lens on the camera, I was able to capture details of Tradescantia virginiana that I had not seen before.  This is a beautiful native for the garden as I think anyone would agree from this photo."
 
"Cannas"
PHOTO CONTEST WINNER
November 2004
Michael Taylor

"Tree Frog Lily"
PHOTO CONTEST WINNER
December 2004
Kathy Bark
Harrisonville, Missouri
Kathy writes, "This is probably my favorite photo that I took this past summer.  I was minding my own business cleaning out my Daylily patch when out of the corner of my eye, I saw a little smudge on the inside of one of the flowers.  Upon closer examination....it was a tiny little Treefrog trying to disguise himself on the green background.  How very cute!"
