Hi,

New to boards. We have a new home with lots of landscaping needs. I really would like some naturalized areas (aka none mowing areas on 10 acre property!) and LOVE the old fashioned tiger or ditch lillies that are seen around here and that my grandmother had growing around her patio when I was a child. Where can I get these short of digging some from the ditches? (Have visions of explaining to officer why I am digging up flowers from some farmers ditch! :) All that I am finding are a different kind of lily, same colors but the leaves are different.

Also, need name of a flower my grandmother used to grow in her boxes that got me in trouble more than once. She had all colors and they had seed pods under the flowers/on stems that when touched would pop open. Needless to say, they were too tempting to a child's curiosity to see them "pop" and more than once that child was scolded for that.:) Anyone know of this plant and where to find?

Thanks

judy
