How great that you have garden help! I'll be watching for your pictures.
I have some of those Stella daylilies that I dug up from a bulldozed lot! I got some gailardia from the same place. It had once been a miniature golf business, and at least a year had passed since the plants had any care, plus the bulldozer hadn't done them any good! They've been happy at my house!
My other daylily starts came via mail from a lady who sold her extras to pay for buying newer varieties! She only charged $3 per variety, and gave me 2 starts of each kind, soil washed off, wrapped in wet newspapers and then in plastic, and mailed the same day she dug them. I bought about 25 in assorted colors.That was about 10 years ago, maybe more, and I have divided, replanted, and given away many of the extras from them. A neighbor came to help me dig and divide them, and I gave her about half of each clump, and now she has a pretty little hill covered with them. It's such fun to share plants! Much of my garden was originally in another lady's yard. She was digging and dividing, so I took my shovel and a bunch of plastic bags and came home with starts of about 40 varieties!
