Over the years, I have found plants in the most unusual places. All were volunteers. Some distributed by the wind and most probably spread by the birds.

I have some I am really fond of and wanted to say if this came from you, thank you!

This was found last summer in a ditch on the road we travel daily and have for almost 30 years. As there was a nice stand of these, I dug a few up. I was glad I did when the mowing crews wiped them out a week later. Perhaps the mowers is why I never saw them bloom before.

I was able to ID this as a Carolina Lily ~ Lilium michauxii.

I wonder how it gets spread... Birds, squirrels, mice? If the start of this came from your house, thank you!

Beautiful and fragrant... the Carolina Lily
