Don\'t see any additional photos though.

I got 21 daylilies last year trading begonias for whatever. They were just fans but I put them all in the ground a week or so later. I don\'t think I lost any and have a couple of them blooming already this year. They really are tough. Just don\'t keep the ground saturated - give them a good drink, wait a few days to water again (stick your finger in to see if it is wet or not before watering). Even flooding doesn\'t kill them but it is best to treat them normally.

In fact I had one to bloom last year which I am posting. The second photo is another one of the daylilies that has bloomed this year. I hope most will bloom this year.
