I find myself doing this quite a bit lately. I work into the wee hours at home and my mom's place. Quiet work but as I see the daylily blooms turn to mush I pinch them for a clean morning view. Prolific heavy bloomers get snipped to avoid knocking off buds attempting the "pinch". No noticeable difference in day to day blooms but, for example "Chicago Apache" which has tight vertical scapes that I enjoy. With the high bud count and tight quarters, a fading bloom will often weld itself to a fresh bud or two. It can ruin a bloom or three without "much tender loving care". I love the plant for it's habit more than the profuse blooms but I hate to see lost flowers. I'm a night owl and it's a minimal chore. My pet peeve, nothing more.
