HI JUSTIN,
IT'S POSSIBLE--*** YOUR GATHERED "TREASURES" COULD BE HEMEROCALLIS FULVA ( OLD HEIRLOOM DOUBLE BURNT ORANGE/GOLD/YELLOW), HEMEROCALLIS FLAVA ( OLD HEIRLOOM SINGLE ORANGE) OR HEMEROCALLIS HYPERION (OLD HEIRLOOM YELLOW).
YOU SEE THEM ON ABANDONED HOMESITES, WHERE OLD HOMES USED TO BE, ALONG WHERE ROADWAYS WERE CUT THROUGH AND EVEN IN EDGES OF FIELDS WHERE PEOPLE USED TO LIVE AND CULTIVATE THE LAND, AND IN DITCHES.
I HAVE SOME OF ALL THREE AND MINE AREN'T BLOOMING YET EITHER, ALTHOUGH QUITE A FEW OF HYBRID HEMEROCALLIS ARE DOING SO.
CHEERS,

HOT AND HUMID, WHERE IS THE RAIN WHEN YOU NEED IT??? AND I DON'T MEAN A DELUGE EITHER, JUST A NICE SOAKING ALL NIGHTER!!

Hi All,
Two years ago I gathered a start of a Hemerocallis that was growing along the road a long way from any currently standing house. I certainly have no idea of the species. The patch was quite small but my start of it is spreading fairly quickly in my native flower garden. They get no care except an occational weeding. I will send a pic if I can get my computer fixed soon or I will just wait and send a pic when they bloom in another couple of weeks. They have sent up flower stalks but just a bit early for blooms.

I have added another page of Kathleen Sayce's treatment of Legacy Bulbs.
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
This page covers Freesia through Hyacinthus. Our wiki page on
Hemerocallis is very brief and we don't have pictures of most of the
species that Kathleen reports as naturalizing. If anyone has pictures
of these species and is willing to contribute them to the wiki,
please add them if you know how or send them to David Pilling who
has offered to help. You can send photos to him at
david@pilling.demon.co.uk or pbs@pilling.demon.co.uk
Dennis Kramb has seen Hemerocallis fulva naturalized so perhaps he
has a photo of that one at least.
