2017
Daylily Show and Garden Tour
An
Update Report
The
2017 Annual Garden Tour and the Daylily Show both attracted excellent
participation and attendance. The Garden Tours on May 29 had
15 gardens open, the most ever on the tour. Most of these were in Hattiesburg,
with two in Perkinston, in Stone County to the south, and one garden was
in Picayune, southwest of Hattiesburg.
The
22nd Annual Daylily Show and plant sale attracted 845 plus participants
at the Lake Terrace Convention Center on June 3. There were 344 daylilies
competing
in the Show. Jon Tibbetts was the Show Chair and Barbara Watts was the co-chair.
Daylily
judging is in two categories: Flower Division and Design Division. The Design Division is the use of daylilies in an arrangement.
In
the Flower Division, outgoing daylily society President Gary Campbell of
Bassfield, MS, took Best of Show honors with the “Suburban Nancy
Gayle.”
In the Design Division, Jimmy Reeves of Hattiesburg took Best of Show with
his arrangement using daylilies.
