At the site where an old house has been recently torn down and the groud

plants lying bare-root on the surface (surrounding them were some growing
from roots beneath the
ground. The roots start out long and narrow, but buldge out on the ends.

You may have hit the jackpot.

Those are Daylily (Hemerocallis) plants. There are many fine flowered
Daylily cultivars out there.

Plant them and see what the flowers look like.

If you don't like them, you can always dig them up and discard them later.

Very healthy-looking daylilies, too. Try and separate the individual
plants and get 'em in the ground. The flowers (and buds) are edible,
too.
