My daylily booms are circa a month behind normal. The interesting thing I’m seeing is that in the shift from cold spring (May=March) to hot, dry summer, some of my early bloomers seem to be sitting this season out. Mother Nature telling them it’s not time to saying “it’s too late now, you missed your window. “

Had some nice new ones today, though. Alabama Jubilee, Mesa Verde, Mount Echo Sunrise, Nurse’s Stethoscope, and Chaco Canyon. Nurse’s Stethoscope is the one I suggested the name for to the hybridizer. Always nice to see her back. Here is my Instagram reel with the photos of these cultivators and their first blooms for 2023.

Oops, I missed Petite Petticoats!
