Neva Clausen is often frustrated by the tall lilies that have taken root on the east side of her garage, reaching as tall as she is, 5 feet tall. She said at times the perennials seem to have minds of their own as they voluntarily pop up in her flower garden, in a variety of colors she didn’t plant as bulbs. “The good Lord deserves credit for those. I didn’t do anything special,” Clausen said.
