I don't grow a huge number of Tim's but like those that grow here.
BESIDE STILL WATERS and ZIPPORAH:
VALDOSTA AGAIN and SAMUEL BELL
However, I've seen and admired many of his, particularly at the Valdosta convention.
Here are Daddy's Little Man and God Alone:
Daddy's Little Man is named after his son, Jared. I had the pleasure to meet all of the Bell children back at the Valdosta convention. When I was Awards Chair of AHS, Jessica and Jared served as runners when we presented the Awards. I got so tickled when I walked over to their table before the banquet and I overheard Tim reading Jared the riot act about his behavior while he would be taking awards to the tables. Their children are so well behaved,and the parents encourage the children with their gardening. Jared has won some show awards, and Jessica has won some AHS Scholarships and 4H Awards for some displays about daylilies. I commented to Jessica how much I appreciated her good manners in always saying, "Yes Ma'am" and mentioned that as a teacher, I didn't get that very often. Her response was, "Oh, we have no choice!" At any rate, Jared must have been about nine ( he must have been a bit of a live wire!) and he did perfectly fine until the banquet servers rolled a huge cart with desserts right into his line of vision as he had to take some awards out to people. He made a long ( and slow) detour around the dessert cart!! So funny. At any rate, the Bells garden IMHO, is one of the world class Display Gardens that any daylily lover should visit. Can't resist throwing in a few images from his garden. I took dozens, these are just a few. If you ever have the chance to visit this garden ( and haven't seen it) please do it!
HAZEL BELL and HENRIETTA MCINTYRE.
LOVE IS DEEP and KAANAPALI COAST:
And one of my favorites, SYCAMORE FRUIT PUNCH along with a seedling of his that I admired:
And here's Tim:
Weirdly, the pictures show up correctly on my laptop, but the picture of Zipporah shows up incorrectly on my I-Pad. Very strange!!
