Great photos - especially the cute furry vandal burrowing without fear of the dog!
That orange lily. Oh dear. You have reminded me of one of my Top Ten Garden Disasters.

Dig Dig Dig
Mountains of it...
Beware! You might find, one summer, that this day lily has conquered the universe of your own once-diverse and beautiful back yard.
