Spring-ing up in the Garden
Category: Daily Diary
Oh please, please, please. Don't let this be a tease. Please tell me that Spring is REALLY here and we aren't going to be socked with an April snowstorm.
I have no idea what these are, by the way.

I think those are day lilies.

They look like day lilies--more specifically what folks around here call "ditch lilies". They're the orange lilies with a 3-4' tall flower stalk that grow around here in farm ditches. A lot of folks call them a weed but I call them free garden plants! :-)

I agree - day lilies. Careful, they spread all over the dang place. My P.O. never cleaned any of them out at all - our yard is over run and I didnt get to tend them early this spring. Looks likes next falls new project. Ah the joys of a new to you house!

yay for your lillies! mine are about 2'tall now, and actually emily is totally right- watch them and dig some of them up to replant in other spots in your garden in the fall. i have the same problem with blue bells... they're all over the place- even growing through the grass!!!

Daylilies do well to be divided after 3-4 years or flowering will lessen. They do not like fertilizer and are considered native plants in Illinois. One of those plants that need little care and are drought resistent. That's what I know about daylilies. And I think Spring is here to stay!

It's supposed to be in the 60s here on Sunday - but then 30s and low 40s with SNOW predicted Monday ... that's New England for you. Hope it stays sunny and warm there!
