daylily corner

In the corner between mudroom and house wall, against the driveway where the ground slopes down, something is growing! It looks pretty messy there because I never cleaned up last fall, thinking the Orange Daylilies I transplanted would need their dead leaves to store energy for winter- do they do that like bulbs do? But if you look closely, can see the new plants emerging again. Actually, a few of them are Tulips- I can already see the flower buds forming. I didn't think there were any tulips left in that corner- will have to remember to mark and move them this fall! (I want them all in the front of the house). The lighter-colored shoots that grow in a fanlike formation are the Daylilies.
