I am in Michigan and I am looking for someone who is dividing/splitting up their daylilies and wants to share them with someone. We had a record breaking (BAD) winter here in Michigan and my fledgling Lily garden did not recover. My "ditch lilies" made it through, by the dozens so I have tons of plain orange lilies, I am oranged to pieces. But my muptiple colored ones that I invested in 6 years ago at a special farm in Traverse City for $15 each have mostly died off. Out of the 17 different ones I purchased only 3 made it through this tough winter, and I have always had great luck with them. Even the ones my Mid-Michigan plant exchange friends have exchanged with me are wimpy looking (solid red and solid yellow). If anyone wants "ditch lilies" I will be more than happy to send a few dozen their way in exchange ; ) I will pay shipping to anyone who would like to share their over abundance of lilies with me, please. Otherwise, I will need to pay, which is not a bad thing but as all of you know here in Michigan the economy is so bad. I am working two jobs, my husband is retired ( due to old age not car company), and we are paying on all his medical bills from his suden open heart surgery May of 2009. I have purchased Irises off Ebay to start replacing that whole garden I lost but I am really pressed with money. I am helping my senior neighbors (older that me ; ), who have also lost their gardens. I don't want this to be a whining thing, I am not a quitter or sniveler that is why I have stepped up to the plate and work 65 hours a week. A wonderful seller on Ebay turned me on to "Cubits" and said to check out different spots for more Iris'. Well, I did not share with her that I have other specialty gardens on my near acre that I lost due to the winter. Anyways, I need to go off to work today, sorry for what I am now reading as a "Dear John/Jane letter". I just wanted to see if anyone out there has extra daylily plants they are dividing and want to get rid off; I will send you the postage money. No, I am not partial to other lilies, I like them also and would love to have them. They just cost a whole lot more money so I never even thought to invest in them. Thank you so much, "Colourful Cathy" from Michigan
