Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Chesapeake Bay')

No report from here due to only having the plant since Sept. 2016.

New spring 2021; didn't bloom in pot. In the ground and hoping for a 2022 show.

I did get this plant way back in 2016, seems like only yesterday. I got it from Rainbow Acres out in California. It has been one of the more popular plants in my garden and I have divided it on at least two different occasions. It is a very fertile pod parent and the pollen is good also. It first bloomed April 2017, it had performed well every year since I think. I did show some rust in the years before I started spraying.




I suppose over the years there have been different cameras, different lighting, and just different looks to the blooms. It blooms nicely up out of the foliage.

Another Florida originated evergreen hat has never bloomed here. Apparently doesn't like my climate although is still is alive [barely].
