I cheated today. I had my first bloom on Nancy's Quilt and I didn't take a picture because it was soooooo pitiful! The scape was badly damaged in the hail storm 2 weeks ago. Then it's been so cool for the last 3 days that the poor little thing couldn't open yesterday and finally made it today. I did grab the pollen and freeze it but other than that, I let it be. I'm hoping that it will rebloom for me. I love this daylily so much. I got it as a gift plant from Maryotts last Fall. Mayotts are still way up my list for being great. I'd say they are the best, but I bought some fantastic plants on the Lily Auction last Fall and I couldn't say that anyone of them are better than the other. They have all been great!!
I hope my next bloom will count as my first bloom of the season. I looked at some of the scapes today and I may have another one bloom that was damaged also, but hopefully it wasn't as bad as Nancy's Quilt. We will see in a few days.
Blessings to all, Mona
