I was speaking with someone recently and she kept referring the 'ditch or roadside daylilies' as tiger lilies....<br /><br />I've been planting what's considered 'perennial tulips' in the hopes of keeping them around longer. I hadn't known about the virus though, so thank you!<br /><br />Lynnlynn'sgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09104383899991317740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25658935.post-68488034542670190842009-11-14T09:14:11.862-05:002009-11-14T09:14:11.862-05:00Hi George, I learned a long time ago how appealing...Hi George, I learned a long time ago how appealing tulips are to varmints, and gave up on them after years of 'heartbreak,' seeing their colorful petals in shreds on the ground just as they were beginning to open.<br /><br />Lilies will likely be the next bulbs I give up on. I've had great success with them in previous gardens. Here, we're lucky if the bulbs don't get eaten shortly after planting. I now cover them, not that it does much good since they are chewed to the ground within weeks of their emergence. But ah, I could sing their praises for their beauty, and the sweet, musky fragrance of the oriental varieties.<br /><br />I seem to suffer from fall burnout in the garden, and have added few bulbs to our garden. There's still time here, and now that the rest of fall's garden tasks have been completed, I've been finding lots of blog inspiration to add more bulbs to our garden. I know if I don't I'll have spring regrets once again!garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25658935.post-41900240243458801922009-11-12T20:26:40.030-05:002009-11-12T20:26:40.030-05:00George,
