How fortunate you are to have a water source-free-for your plants. It is hot (90s) and dry here. My foliage is suffering. Yesterday we were in the donut hole with huge pop up showers all around us but no rain here. Perhaps your watering will help with your blooms.

Yay! More are blooming for you! How lucky you are to have a free source of water. I've been dragging my hose around for several days now. Like Kate said, my foliage is suffering too.

Brad: Same here with no rain. Very dry. Good that you have another water source. Just keep your daylilies well mulched. Hopefully we will all get some "liquid gold" soon.

Nice to see so e blooms Brad! Its been so dry here, only 1/2” of rain in May. finally started watering, hope it helps.

My water bill will be huge, but water is more important than fertilizer. I would not be so sure that the March and April freezes (after February warmth) will not affect your plants. I thought that too, but am seeing low bud count now. Things like bud count are affected by weather long before scapes begin to form. It does seem, though, that scape density is fairly good this year. Too early for firm conclusions.

Oh good! I am glad you are getting more blooms. IT is weird that first blooms are often a bit weird thus the strange sepal.We are all pretty much having some plants in the foliage. Its's annoying, but at least they are blooming.
