I had this daylily in a container in the front of the house last year, but it wasn't doing very well, so I went to throw it out but then noticed that it had developed some extensive roots so I figured that I would give it a second chance in this flowerbed in the back. It did okay that year. The next year (this year), I didn't even know what it was when it began to poke through the ground. I had no idea that it was going to come back, and this year it's doing very well.
Also, the crape myrtle here just had extensive dead branches pruned off of it. We had a severe late frost this year which damaged many of the plants. Some of these crape myrtles just had more dead stuff pruned off than they had live stuff, and one of them even had to completely start growing from the ground anew, but they all made it through.
