Oh, and the slowest progressing daylily bud I've ever seen ... courtesy of Peach Serenade:

These have been growing slowly for a while, and I thought it was a day out yesterday:

But today:

Maybe tomorrow?

(It's deer candy, so the sticks are an attempt to protect it, since it gets eaten almost every year.)

Beautiful yellow clump! It's a shame the deer got most of its buds. Something you might try to further protect your daylilies is to smear a bit of Vicks Vapor Rub on the sticks you have around the lilies for protection. Deer hate that smell.

We've tried pretty much everything ... it's all washed away this month ... we just can't be out there at 4am, 5am, 10am, or whenever the afternoon showed is. It's rained literally all but one day this month! The sticks seem to be a decent deterant for short lilies; the tall lilies stick out of cages and still get munched (Don Stevens 😢)

July 8:

Little buds were all lost on this one ... I don't recall if the big one below bloomed in the downpour or not.

Only the big bud bloomed of these White Tie Affair, the following day in the rain ... the others were chomped over night after the rain stopped around 2am. We brought in one other that didn't have small buds.

The darn pests also chowed down on a number of our hosta.

Nasty deer. I used to see deer tracks all around my driveway, not much problem with deer though. I think they got their fill of fallen fruit from apple and pear trees. No sign of then this year. The is a nice clump of the yellow! I bet it is amazing when deer leave it alone.

Sorry to hear about the deer problem. That yellow one is a show off..........Maryl

The form of the first one looks like Hyperion. How true is the color? Hyperion is a light yellow with a hint of a green throat early in the day, which disappears later. It is highly scented. https://garden.org/plants/view/5015/Daylily-Hemerocallis-Hyperion/

If the bloom is larger like 6+ inches, it could be Hyperion Elite. https://garden.org/plants/view/25354/Daylily-Hemerocallis-Hyperion-Elite/

Color is pretty accurate ... taken around 7pm. The flowers are quite large. I can't say I noticed a scent ... I'll have to go check ...

Peach Serenade:

It has a scent if I sniff it directly but it doesn't perfume the area.

For comparison of how other variety size for me, here are Peach Serenade and White Tie Affair with the same 6" ruler:

One of White Tie's slightly smaller, particularly low flowers:

Others have been a touch larger and more like 8" high. This fan may have been nibbled early on this year and recovered.

And Peach Serenade, one of the best blooms I've gotten from it:

Peach serenade is a pretty color and love the pie crust edge. Nice 2nd post of it.............Maryl
