So far nothing else blooming there....hopefully that it was only that 1 bulb, we'll see when the others start blooming. I did plant 48 of them.

Well last year when I planted those daylilies from a co op 2 bloomed within a month of planting and came up a weird color, hoping that was just a strange occurence and they will become the correct color Confused

and because of the funny colors, I don't even know which ones they were supposed to be, these are the ones I ordered that are lighter in color

I'm hoping that maybe it was just that 1 bulb since none of the others are blooming yet
