Thanks for the link to the decription of the different types of root
systems. I noticed I have a few of each types.
I look forward to seeing the flowers on the lilies as the neighbor
woman is growing the daylilies and they look so nice. The only thing is
she is sort of an organized gardener and has them evenly spaced in a
row. Do daylilies propagate and spread like daffodils? That would be
nice.
I am going to Lowe's today to look around at their stuff again. This is
a better time to buy the plants than the earlier ones, but now they will
probably be picked through.
