2019 ODS PICNIC
The 2019 Picnic was hosted by Tim Hobbs, TrueNorth Daylilies. The weather was perfect, not too hot or cold, with lots of sunshine to view the daylilies in the best light. Lunch was provided by Tim, assisted with the pot luck extras of salads and deserts brought by everyone. Thanks to all.

2018 BEST SCAPE AWARD (new this year)
This contest focuses on the scape, NOT the flower - a good daylily should have a well branched scape with lots of buds.
Winner: Barbara White - Entry #5
2018 PHOTO CONTEST (new this year)
ODS is offering awards for photos in these three categories: Landscape, Individual Plant, Artistic Rendering.
All will
require some aspect of a daylily or garden with daylilies included.
LANDSCAPE should show at least
one daylily plant in a photogenic scene ideally highlighting your own gardens.
Winner: Mary Ann Van Berlo - Entry #7
INDIVIDUAL PLANT should focus on one plant - a clump, single fan, scape in bloom or single blossom.
Winner: Ken Yardley - Entry #4
ARTISTIC often is an image of a blossom with bugs or frogs or something that gives the viewer a sense of "Ahh isn't that interesting!".
It can be ANYTHING that is a good photo that inspires interest and may or may
not center on a daylily but must include a daylily as a significant part of the image.
Winner: John Burgener - Entry #4
