I need ONE stepping stone to put in the bed by the Bird bath so I can step on it.

That is where i dug out the heirloom Primrose--b/c i was always stepping on it...
A round one (12" is OK) or a rectangular one maybe 8" x !2" would do.
I can buy one from you--or trade something for it....like an Epi start...a potted
Pregnant Onion??....Several potted Curly Spider Plants....I have a MASSIVE sized
DL that is growing and will bloom soon. No other DL in my garden measures up to it.

The leaves are huge! The clump is massive!....The blooms were om 4' stems....
and are a beautiful, ornate version of a Ditch Lily.
It is out of place a bit in my small bed--so I may be digging it out and dividing it
this fall. I have NO idea what is beneath the soil......
You and Ric would, surely, have room for this one....

This is from last year....July

Pic #3--#4---I actually have this same DL (I think it is) in my YUK bed right by the stump.
This Lily is, therefore, called my "Stump Lily"...It just is nowhere as tall--but then it is in
very cramped, non-fed area. Hoe it survives there--I do not know....
Looks the same? Yes??? Maybe not as ornate?

I think some of you may already have this--as the year i dug and divided many of my
DL was Jill's Swap. maybe 3 years ago? I had a box-full of divided DL's.
I know this one was among them.

WHO has one of these growing?????? Do you like it?
