Crossing the Roadlilies
By bartermn

The first homesteaders didn't have much time to fuss with flowers. The
ones they did plant needed simple beauty and rock hardiness. Daylilies
were a logical choice, the lemon (yellow) and the tawny (orange) were
popular farmyard plantings and soon spread to line country roads.
Grandma called them "ditch lilies;" they were "road lilies" to my
father. Those fancy ones we buy at garden centers and admire along
interstate highways arrived by a different route.
