Re:CULT: Irises v. Daylilies

What's the v. about? I love daylilies, have a few but don't have time nor 
room to specialize in more than one thing and that is species iris.

However, around these parts the common orange daylily is often called "The 
railroad Lily," because it is alleged that railroad brakemen would carry 
clones in the caboose and whenever the train needed to stop for water or a 
cow or whatever, the brakeman would stick a few in the ground, or dig up a 
few from a previous clump to take on to another destination. I have no 
evidence for this, so it may be a rural myth.

High 70 yesterday, overnight in the 50s, comfortable low 70s today with much 
needed all day rain, and how serindip. because I literally weeded volunteer 
cleomes out of my iris seedling beds and roughly stuck them in holes doubting 
they would grow, but now they will have a chance.
