Those don't sound like daylilies at all. Could be true lilies or anything with a tuber, like a dahlia.

Sounds like Lilium, such as asiatic or oriental. Like an Easter lily. They are bulbs.
All daylilies have the same kind of roots as the Stella.

Those are daylilies :)

Those "multiple bulb things" are root food storage that the daylilies sometimes have. These are daylilies and they should be planted pretty soon!

Also, a daylily root needs a fan (piece of green) with it to grow. So you can not break off a piece of root and plant it by itself. It will not grow. Those are pretty typical looking bare root daylily plants although small.

OK! So what I have are Daylilies. I'm still confused about why there are little bulbs though. The daylilies sometimes have these bulbs? Can anyone direct me to a link to where I can learn more about them or why they have these bulbs instead of normal roots?

They have all been planted last week, so right now I'm just trying to figure out more about them. Thanks so much everyone for your responses! At least I understand they are daylilies now, haha.

Those daylilies pictured DO have very normal roots. Some of the roots are thicker and fuller, what I think you are referring to as little bulbs. They are not really bulbs but a thickened part of the root sysem. This is how daylily roots grow. Those thick roots store enery for the plant.

They aren't bulbs, they are just thickened roots and they are completely normal on all daylilies.

For more information about daylilies please visit the website of Th American Hemerocallis Society. This is the governing body that regulates the commerce of naming daylilies for commercial sales.

I think most daylilies have those enlarged roots, they are not bulbs, an onion is a good example of a bulb, but other lilies, like the orientals have scales which is a different thing also. The only daylily I can remember that has a fibrous root system is Hemerocallis minor which also has grassier leaves and I suppose not too many people grow it as it has only two or three flowers on a little foot tall scape and only blooms for a couple weeks early in the Spring. I grow it because it is already in bud and will be the first to bloom.---------------------Weedy
