In MS the road graders have distributed February Gold far from the
original farmstead, and there are carpets of these daffs for miles and
miles. Really beautiful in bloom. There is a white bulb some call
Bethlehem Star that has almost equal distribution as FG, but BS blooms
later and then we have a second show along the highways. The old orange
double daylilies have been spread around like this too.
