BAD BUNNIES!!!! To lose that bud would just nearly(I wouldn't do this, but!!) be a cause for bunny stew!! Atleast they have great taste. I was reading about cooking daylily buds the other day. They say that the pastel ones are the good ones and the dark buds have a bitter taste. Just curious, do you remember if the bunnies got any of the dark buds?
I don't know why, but I couldn't eat the buds off my plants. I guess it's one of those mental things. I'd keep thinking how beautiful that bud would be when open and I just couldn't force myself to break it off!
I hope this will be the last bud they get. Maybe if you put some carrots out there, they'd trade with you.
