There is a plant at my work that everyone calls a trumpet lily. I don't think that it is the right name as when I search trumpet lily on google all I come up with are plants that don't match my plants. I'm hoping someone will be able to help ID this cool plant. Every winter the plants are dug up, pruned and put in a root cellar until spring. They get no water or sunlight and they come back every spring after it is planted. It has flowers that are shaped similar to a bell.
I will try to post some pics.

| Though it is very often referred to as Angel's Trumpet, I can think of at least 3 plants in 3 different genera with that common name, which is why I didn't use it as part of the ID. Al |

Almost any size cutting will root easily. I usually take 1/2" thick cuttings, 6-8" long, with a couple of small leaves, or on cuttings with large leaves I cut the leaves in half across the veins, then stick (that is an actual term) them in a well-aerated medium like perlite or screened Turface where they readily root with no synthetic rooting aid required - bright light, but not full sun. Bottom heat is helpful (72-80*), but I never bother.
