Well, that doesn't look too great to me. It looks like a scape that has been cut off, but I'm not seeing much in the way of fan growth. In my part of the world, hot and mostly dry Texas, I'd put it in the sick bay. That usually is a shady spot protected from the sun here. I'd keep it watered - probably would keep it sitting a shallow pan of water which I do for any daylily that gets stressed if I can manage it. It's clearly got life left, but it needs some fan growth. It's possibly in a post bloom, summer dormancy stage and will produce some growth a bit later after resting a bit. That's my take on it, anyway.

Larry, so far we have not had any issues with rust in our area. I know the area where this daylily is and have not seen any major issues in the bed.

I know SGB and you guys need to teach him everything you know, this way he can look at my daylilies and get them going

I hope so. @ seedfork. It looked totally dead and then out of nowhere, a pod sprouted up. So, I would say yes collection is growing!!!

SGB This site is addictive! Had to take a couple days off just to dig in the dirt and plant more flowers!
Mystic Image; Blueberry Dream and Just a good mix!

To a fellow Texan!

SGB I'm Daniel, do you have any experience with other plants or is gardening a new venture for you all together?

I'm new to all of this. But after meeting PlantMania, I fell in love with Daylilies.

I'm not a sucker for love but it was love at first site for me also. I'm glad you are here and hope you stick around you can learn a lot from our members and who knows your passion for daylilies may blossom into a passion for plants in general. The love of gardening is a seed that once sown never dies.

Hey y'all. My second bloom and a new planting. Collection sitting at 3 now!!!

Just wait, it won't be long until your collection hits 300!

Do you know the cultivar name of the new planting?

Welcome aboard SGB...I've learned most of what I know about daylilies right here.

Speaking for SGB - we picked it up at Lowes - NOID Yellow
His new DL is Calico Jack

'Calico Jack' must be a good one, I see 18 members have it...make that 19 members.

SGB, your daylilies are gorgeous! I particularly like the white teeth on the first one, lavender flower with white teeth edge. You have a good eye for choosing beautiful daylilies.

Welcome to NGA, SGB!
:welcome:

@SGB!! So glad plantmania influenced you to join us. We all share in your excitement in starting your adventure into gardening, and especially daylilies! Love the pink/purple dl with the white teeth.

I had one like your "almost" dead one. It was such a tiny thing when I planted it, and all the leaves died, but today I saw new growth, so was very happy! I've learned that sometimes the crown of the dl may be alive even if the plant looks dead so I tend to wait a full year before giving up on one.
