Dear hubby told me my box of daylilies arrived yesterday just as I was headed out the door this morning (sigh). We have livestock so my buckets have the habit of not being where they're supposed to be! I did not have time to search so I filled up the tub of my top-loading washing machine just a few inches and put them in there! A perfect temporary storage! With their clean roots, I 'll pull them out tomorrow and spin the water down the drain!!
