Gita, Your Lily by the Stump is gorgeous and so is the the other one. It caught my eye when you posted it before. So happy to hear that your Yuk bed will soon be Yummie!

Sally, I don't think Gita's DL is the fulva. I've seen lt in lots of different photos, but haven't ever noticed one with a red eye. I have dug and handled those and there is no mistaking their growth pattern for that of a cultivated lily. The roots are completely different. They are Rhizomatous (sp?) and send shoots everywhere. Within 2 years they will spread about 6 to 8 feet. I inspect all Orange DLs very carefully before planting.

This Hosta, Burchwood Parky's Gold was about 12" across last year. It had been in the same spot for 3 years and wasn't really growing. Last fall I dug it up and moved it 3' closer to the front of the bed. It is now 4' across. I sure hope it doesn't get much bigger.
