The daylily you are seeing is the species called hemarocallis fulva - tawny
daylily. Another common name for it is ditch lily. It is rarely sold because
it is so common and has spread into big patches all over the east -
alongside roads, on old homesteads, in the woods, etc. (It's not a native
plant - was imported from Asia). Yank a little piece out of the side of the
road with some roots attached. (Or a big piece, depending on how much time
and energy you have.)(They are rhizomous - big fleshy roots). The plant is
so tough, it is nearly impossible to kill. Just plant that piece where you
think you want it (it will spread and spread over time), water daily for a
few weeks, then let it go. Some of the foliage will die back after you plant
it, but it will grow more, don't worry. It blooms mostly in early summer,
then the foliage flops, so it's not a favorite of neat gardener types.

local
shops. dose any one know the lily I'm talking about and more important
