Well, I am late seeing your post, but I want to add my sympathy.The good might be that this is a teaching experience for the students, to let them see and feel how terrible it is to lose something that a person has worked hard for, and have it taken away.The only time I have lost a plant was when we moved here to the country. Our house sits well off the county road, but we have a big field in front and there are lots of old style daffodils growing close to the road. One time I was coming home, and I saw some guy load up some of the daffodils he had just dug up. He was gone before I could get close enough to see who it might be. The thing is, if he had come to the house and asked, we would have told him he could have the plants. There just something about a person taking without asking that leaves you with the violated feeling. This was just a small thing for us, but what happened to you is an entirely different thing, and perhaps knowing you have the support of all these fine people on the Daylily Forum will be a little comfort.
