The daylily people call these "proliferations". I usually have a few and do
pot them up and most of them "take". I don't think the stems these grow on
are flexible enough for bending over and rooting on the ground. And I don't
think the presence of these is stress-related--we are beginning our fourth
month of drought here in the cincinnati area (it has rained twice since the
end of May, about 4 inches in all) and I don't have a single proliferation
this year. As I recall, some of the experts have told me that some cultivars
do this more than others.
