Oh! I think they are pretty, too! And the best part is that they are so easy to grow and they like to spread and I don't do a thing to them. (Though I do. I water them sometimes! lol) I just need to decide on a nice area in my yard for them to do their thing! LOL! I don't know how quickly they spread, but if they do and you want some, remind me the end of this summer and I might have some to share with you. ;-)

I guess they are heirlooms. Their cultivar name is Hemeocallis fulva and it is actually spelled Ditch Lily. (My mistake.) They are the wild variety of Day Lilies. And can be found growing near ditches along roadsides! :-)
