Awright, Rob, please to enlighten we ditch lily ignoramuses. What the

Ditch lillies are lillies that grow in the ditch, Gene :>) Consider
yourself enlightened! I think that the orange ones are sold in the
catalogues as Tiger Lillies, but ditch lillies covers all colors,
shapes and sizes.

Ahah. So, then, is a ditch lilly simply a lily of any flavor that happens to grow in ditches?

Perhaps it is ditches of which I am ignorant. Now, I believe I know the dictionary and popular meaning of ditch. Do you feel that ditches in your part of the world are in any way unique from ditches in other parts of the world?
