Meddling Rams	PHOTO CONTEST WINNER *December 2003* Peter Haws	Peter writes: "This isn't necessarily a picture of a garden (but) this soon to be ram and his friends took out our garden...Doesn't it look like he has something on his mind?"

My Florida Garden	PHOTO CONTEST WINNER *November 2003* Cindy Galan	Cindy writes: "I can't believe how my garden has grown this year. After years of work, it needed little help from me this year. Hundreds of impatients and wishbone flowers popped up everywhere. This is just one of the numerous flower beds that has amazed me this year. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am."

Sweet Smelling Lilies	PHOTO CONTEST WINNER *October 2003* Anita Mapp	Anita writes: "What I like most about this photo is that it reminds me of the sweet smell you inhale every time you turn the corner on the side of my house."

Beach House Trip	PHOTO CONTEST WINNER *September 2003* Debbie Acors	Debbie writes: "This is a picture of my sister and brother-in-law's garden. My brother-in-law landscaped it himself while my sister did the research to see what flowers could be planted in the sand. I love this picture because it show what team work and love for gardening can turn out." (Touch of Nature wants to know...when's the beach party??)

Daylily Among the Daisies	PHOTO CONTEST WINNER *August 2003* Karen Farrar	Karen writes: "I love to watch all the plants grow and spread among each other. Each day when I go out to look at the flowers, there is a different look to the garden. It is ever-changing...a wonder of nature."

Collage of Flowers	PHOTO CONTEST WINNER *July 2003* Beverly McCollum	Beverly writes: "I was fooling around one day taking pictures of all my flowers in bloom. Then I relaxed at the computer, playing around and put this collage of flowers together from the pictures I took. Well when I printed it out I couldn't believe my eyes at how pretty this picture was for my first time doing this. I took it to work to show everyone and they all said I should enter this in a contest. Well I couldn't wait to get home to find a contest on the computer. Glad I found you, hope you like it."


Sunrise Dahlia	PHOTO CONTEST WINNER *June 2003* Scott Wanta Lansdale, Pennsylvania	Scott writes: "These flowers seem to radiate light like a sunrise. My mother and stepfather raise these beautiful flowers every year and put hours and hours of work into growing them. Truly magnificent shapes and sizes come from this family of flowers."

Tulips	PHOTO CONTEST WINNER *May 2003* Rhonda Coy Newport, Kentucky	Rhonda writes: "I love the colors in this photo. The tulip mix is the perfect complement to the Gold Flame Spirea shrub."

Gorgeous Yellow Dahlias	PHOTO CONTEST WINNER *April 2003* Shirley Speed Franklin, North Carolina	Shirley writes: "Last year, I really wanted to try growing lots of different dahlias. This gorgeous yellow one outdid itself in blooms and bloomed until frost. Dahlias are a real joy to plant and watch grow."

Holleyhock Mallow	PHOTO CONTEST WINNER *March 2003* Darryl Coan Staunton, Illinois	Darryl writes: "I so enjoy this picture of my hollyhock mallow both because of the cheer it brings me in winter and how the 'old-time' look of the plant is a reminder that a garden is a legacy. These mallow plants bloom both in summer and often stay green and bloom into December, even when temperatures are below freezing and it's snowing. Hard freezes will finally wilt their stalks."

Cannas	PHOTO CONTEST WINNER *February 2003* JoAn Taylor San Diego, California	JoAn writes: "I have always wanted to have canna plants in my yard, and last year managed to plant a LOT of them just outside my (home) office window. I never tire of watching the sunlight play on the blossoms and leaves and the hummingbirds flit from one flower to another. This particular flower seemed just radiant, and the picture will always remind me of the pleasure this view has given me."

Garden Photo	PHOTO CONTEST WINNER *January 2003* Roxanne McMillen Huntington Beach, California	Roxanne writes: "I enjoy this photo because it reminds me how far our yard has come from the plain grass that it used to be. We have used many drought tolerant plants and have removed all the regular grass. (The blue pride of Madeira is awesome and I don't water it!) We brought the broken concrete from our old patio to the front yard and planted it with Korean grass."
