Jan, I'm so sorry to hear you've got bug problems! I wish I had something solid to blame my blooms on, but I'm not sure what it is other than the weather. We had a really dry winter, and haven't had rain in ages. I've been watering regularly, but the heat isn't helping much either. We're way above normal. I've even got tall garden phlox blooming, which never happens this early in the year. I never get any blooms on those until closer to the end of summer. So, everything is out of whack here, including my blooms! I did get some perfect daylily blooms today though, so I'll post pictures later!
