Where do all these tiger lilies come from?

18 years ago

Hey guys I have to ask this question...

I NEVER planted any orange tiger daylilies. The area I chose for my lily garden 10 years ago had no daylilies in it whatsoever. I purchased several lilies..NO SPIDER LILIES...NO ORANGE LILIES....Apple Blossum, Tanya Gay, Tara....all pinks and yellows with one almost blackish marron one that my mom insisted on (it doesn't match my color palate but I had to let her pick out one variety)

Every year I end up removing about 5 or 10 orange tiger lilies (that side road variety that made me originally fall in love with day lilies) Any thoughts on where these are coming from and how I can convince them to grow someplace else where they won't overpower my expensive Tetraploids varieties?

Are my Yellow and Pink Day lilies crossing pollinating and having orange babies? Am I fighting a losing battle to keep these wild cousins off my hill?
