Ok, if they are new intros, then it is probably because they are new, and not established.
I usually let one flower open, to try to be sure I have the right plant, and cut all scapes after that. Not everyone does this. I feel it is more important, especially with spring delivery, to allow the. Plant to use all its energy for roots and becoming established.
Another thing I forgot to mention is location. Many say that differences in soil can change a pink to peach, or cause other color shifts.
Another thing about location... Say you bought the plants from a big hybridizer in a southern state like Florida. Then you plant it in Ohio. Chances are good that it will not develop the big ruffles, bubbly edges, etc. here in the north, and may suffer poor opening without the warm nights they have in the south. The opposite can also be true. Take a Moldovan daylily bred and raised in Ohio and plant it in Texas, it might really suffer, and not do well. Or, it might do just fine.
And, many growers grow in pots, greenhouses etc. I know I used to go to a greenhouse where a friend had his plants to increase and to hybridize. The UV stuff on the greenhouse intensified the way my camera, and my eye, saw the colors.
About the only way around this is to visit AHS Display Gardens and daylily sellers on your area. See the plants in person before you buy.
