| | Homes: Consider the day lily |
 | | According to a poll by the American Hemerocallis Society, which represents 11,000 day lily enthusiasts, the most popular cultivars in Florida are the cream-and-peach "Ed Brown," sunny gold "Bill Norris" and "Mary Ethel Anderson," a tiny pale ivory and pink flower with a bright red center. |
 | | Spring and fall are ideal times to plant day lilies, especially under trees, around a mailbox, in borders, at entryways, surrounding a garden pool or pond and as edging in front of foundation plants. |
 | | Day lilies like rich soil, so amend your garden with peat, compost or bagged manure, and mulch the exposed ground with leaves or pine straw to keep it moist and reduce weeds. |
