Dividing the bulbs. Decided to discard the tetraploid day lillies I never liked. But then I realized they were looking old and sad when we moved into this house 35 YEARS ago, and since then I have never divided, fertilized, watered or otherwise cared for them. Yet there's a few blooms every year.

As I dig them up, I realize there are a lot more rhizomes than I imagined. And they're growing in an inch or two of crappy clay soil over the concrete an old wrought Iron fence had been set in.
