Beck's Bloomers
Tupelo, MS

Ours is a small garden, mostly in our front yard. We landscape with our daylilies and companion plants. We use yard art, birdhouses, bonsai and oriental design.

Troy has been hybridizing for the past few years and has a few "keepers", although he discards many. He gets an early start with seedlings grown in the greenhouse. We have fewer than 300 daylilies with a select few used for hybridizing.

All winter, Troy plans new buildings and larger seedling beds for the new plants that he hope to obtain in the near future. This past summer he added a Koi pond, oriental teahouse,double teahouse arbor complete with marble garden bench, an oriental pavilion and observation deck. There are seventeen new raised boxes in the lower garden.

Working in the greenhouse and garden is a most wonderful way to relax and unwind from our full-time jobs.

Visitors to Victorian Place Garden will be welcomed by the gardens distinctive style. The garden is designed around a two-story Victorian home built by Bill's grandfather in 1910. After consulting many old garden plans, Bill and Rissa developed an attractive geometric design for the front garden consisting of a long rectangle incorporating a circular motif with concentric paths and built up beds. Three large arched arbors, decorative fountains, benches, and statuary are all features found in the garden. A wide variety of plants are displayed in the fount garden, as well as in beds surrounding the house. The garden features daylilies, antique roses, butterfly bushes, crape myrtle, lantana, iris, clematis, azaleas, hosta hydrangea, ornamental grasses, ferns and numerous other perennials and annuals.

During the last year, Bill and Rissa have completed a third greenhouse. The 24' x 96' greenhouse contains about 1700 container grown daylilies which should be in full bloom in later April or early May. In addition to container grown daylilies, another 24' x 96' greenhouse will be full of vine ripe tomatoes beginner about the middle of April.
