I like that idea, 
Here in Delaware the state has suceded in killing off a good 90 - 99% of
the wild Day and tiger lillies and now they complaine that we<the state>
have no more flovers growing wild. The properity on witch I live has
ditches on either side and I belive that this year I want to do some
planting along the ditch bankes at least. I wanted to try Irises but my
ryzomes were just put in last Jully and won't be ready to split untill
lthis summer some time.
