About Us
Bee Bayou DayBloomers is located in Richland Parish, Northeast Louisiana, in the area known as the North Louisiana Delta Country.  Surrounded by areas of rolling piney woods, Richland Parish is a flat plain where huge acreage's of cotton, corn, beans and rice are grown.   In 1975 Ray and I built our home on the edge of the Wilkerson family property.  As young newlyweds we had no idea that we were building on top of waxy clay soil.  Trees are about the only plant that will grow beneath the soil line here, so raised beds are needed to grow large healthy daylilies.  It’s a back-breaking job to routinely amend the soil in the raised beds every 2 years.  We use several different soil amendments, what ever is most available when we need it.  Rice hulls, from a local rice dryer is our primary amendment.  Large loads of a ground pine fine mix is routinely added and when available, horse manure.  Routine soil amendment  and supplemental watering, is the key to growing the size plants we like to achieve before shipment.   Fertilizing...most of our plants receive two annual applications of any name brand of triple eight fertilizer.

I hope you enjoyed visiting our website and will come back often!  i designed this webpage myself with
Homesteads Design Editor.    Amazing how simple it is to do now, with about 5 years practice!  i know it looks a little ''homemade'' but it gets the job done!     .....  Nan
Our bloom season begins in early to Mid May with peak bloom the first week in June.  Visitors are welcome!  We ask that you phone ahead so that we can be here to greet you.
Our winters...many winter nights dip down to 30 deg and below.   The chances are always high  that
some of our coldest nights of the winter will occur during mid to late Febuary, 4 to 6 weeks before
our first shipping date!
Ray opened his own business, Ray Wilkerson Electrical llc, in January 2009.  Our daughter, Nickie Nobles, is employed at Aspirations in Monroe, La. As a nail-tech/estician.  In 2010 Nickie also opened her own business, Oopsy Daisy Adorable Designs.  See links to her work below and on our Home Page. 

Our pets are an important part of our lives.   We have Ray’s girl Possum and my old boy Spark.  Sadly, on May 29, 2010, I lost Spark, my constant companion and garden pal.
