I understand the desire to avoid dealing with bureaucratic regs, particularly when they seem complicated and/or expensive to follow, but I would ask that you rethink plans to avoid getting a phyto certificate. These things are intended to prevent entrance of pests and diseases into other countries. All you have to do is look at some of the sometimes enormous problems that have occurred because a pest or disease got in. Read a bit about the Asian long-horned beetle for example. Obviously, daylilies are not carrying a bug like that, and it's possible, even probable, that your own plants are bug- and disease-free, but the principle remains the same....as do the underlying ethics of the decision to abide by the regs. As gardeners, we have a responsibility to help preserve & protect, even if it inconveniences us sometimes to do so. IMHO.

Ohh, I wish I could return to Newfoundland. We circumnavigated it in a leisurely, stop and go way ten years or so ago. Our trip was typical of my planning. I like to go to the ends of things. I only regret that I didn't insist we take the ferry to Labrador. Our only planned stay was several days at Tickle Inn, which a woman on the ferry to the island had told us about. As did others who have commented here, we absolutely loved the island. My most vivid memories of life on "the rock" was the garden art--whirligigs, gnomes, other critters--that replaced perennial borders and rose gardens. And the memory of the sight and sound of them makes me smile. OH, and the little vegetable gardens along the road where the fill from road-making made fertile soil deep enough for gardens one after another, set off by string and twigs, maintained by people who lived miles away. And the cottages clad in beautiful pastel pinks, blues, and greens that lined the coast. As does the gentleman at Tickle Inn who proudly showed us his wood shop, and, in answer to my question about his favorite season said, "Winter." I must have gaped. He explained that spring was sodden muck, summer was hot and mosquito ridden, fall was also inhospitable, but in winter, with his snowmobile, he could go anywhere. He also told us about a polar bear, having crossed the frozen sea from Labrador in midwinter, that stood up, peered through, and pushed in the high windows in the dining room, then wandered off while he crouched down inside, gun ready if the beast came into the house, but hoping desperately that it wouldn't. And the several locals who invited us into their homes for tea and dessert, for conversation and sharing. I hope you can return soon. Thank you for evoking memories I treasure.

I may have couched my language in uncertainty, but there is none really. That is what the plant is. All the "ors" refer to the fact this species has a number of common names,not that these represent different plants. They don't. No need to wait. +oM

Gros Morne National Park is indeed a great area to visit. I am in the process of redoing my garden beds. Took out my pond a few years ago and now a lot of my plants in this photo is in big pots buried in the ground. planning to get that finished this year.
