chalyse said:Thanks, Juli! I'm still so new that I'm not really sure what "peak bloom" means 
Is that when "mid-season" blooms are blooming? Or does it mean something else ... like "when most varieties bloom" and may generally include EM-M cultivars as well as EE and E rebloomers?
I did find a nice chart for Zone 5, but that doesn't help me much in Zone 8 ... perhaps it is a starting point, though:

Interesting, I live a few miles from Bloomingfields and I believe since they did this bloom breakout our zone has been changed to 5B, although, I am now literally on the edge of 6B.
I am going to watch my bloomdates this year and see how my daylilies fall into these breakdowns.
In addition to growing zones, which affect bloom dates, there are also micro-climates within our growing region that can totally affect bloom dates.
