My daylilies are kind of "Hobson's choice" -- they were given to me by the next door neighbor when she thinned out the lilies in her back yard last year. I had been wanting to fill in a bed in front but didn't have the cash to spend to buy more, so I was working on the soil and placement to let them expand into the place I wanted them. When this bag of plants came my way I poked them in that space so it is a mix of what I had and what she had and it is always a lovely surprise to see what is sprouting each day. The ones I bought look like the kind of flower you would see in a Renaissance Italian painting, very rich and old-fashioned looking. They're kind of sprinkled around and I'll probably move some of them closer together. Don't know what they're called.
