Ken: When I talk about heat here I mean high heat coupled with our ever present high humidity. The first round of heat usually hits mid May. We can easily go over 95 and stay there from June to the end of September - 1st of October, with the heat index (if not the actual temperature) in the triple digits. Heck, I've had daylilies blooming in 112 degree heat. And almost as importantly to the plants, there is very little cool down at night......You are right about daylilies coming down in price, it just seems that Buffalo Thunder has hung in there at a high price for longer then most. Maybe it's a great hybridizer's plant or maybe it's the old watched pot syndrome..........DND: That photo of yours for Evening Enchantment is wonderful. I love the velvety petals. Just adds to my resolve to get it this spring..........Maryl
