About Bayou Bend...

Picture
In 2007, I was introduced to the Cenla Daylily Society by a very dear friend. Since then, (when I'm not spending time with my wife, Nikki, or playing with our three-year-old twin boys, Denton and Hudson) I spend a great deal of time working in my garden, Bayou Bend Daylilies.

The name Bayou Bend was taken from the name of the creek (Bayou Clear) that runs through our property and feeds the garden. When I’m not in my garden, you can find me studying daylilies in books and catalogues and searching online to see what new introductions are coming out!

My parents and I have been in the wholesale nursery business for several years. Most of our inventory consisted of ornamental shrubs such as azaleas, gardenias, roses and various hollies. We are now proud to add daylilies to that list. I have been bitten by the hybridizing bug and am looking forward to the day when I can introduce my first daylily!


In the last few years, I have collected several hundred varieties of daylilies. These include traditional forms, unusual forms and spidery types. I grow many of the newest and best cultivars by the major hybridizers in today's market. 

In 2009, Bayou Bend Daylilies became an AHS Display Garden. I welcome all interested in gardening to visit the nursery and my family anytime.

"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you..." Luke 12:27-28
