If you see bright orange daylilies blooming along an old fence row, roadside, or tucked deep in a field, you may be standing where early homesteaders once built their lives. Brought over by settlers in the 1700s and 1800s, daylilies were planted around cabins and gardens for dependable beauty and even as a food source. These tough plants multiplied year after year, surviving drought, neglect, and time itself. Long after barns have fallen and homes have disappeared, daylilies continue to bloom, quietly marking the land where homesteaders once worked, raised families, and planted roots for generations to come.

    This is true for daffodils, roses, tulips, etc.

    However, these flowers are invasive (at least in my state) and they spread like wildfire

    When I’m hiking in state parks, sometimes italian arum or some other landscaping plant will be an indication of a place some rich asshole with a town named after them used to have a summer home.

    Shit plant outside of its native context. 
    Tennessee Nursery is also a shit nursery. Tons of bad reviews can be easily found all over the internet.
