The buds never open but a little bit. It took me a while to stop picking them off thinking they were spent blooms - that's how closed they are.

Does anyone else grow it and observe this to be the case?

If you haven't done so, take a look at the plant late afternoon, around 5. On a healthy plant growing with adequate sun, new blooms will be open by then.

I deadhead all my daylilies daily, doing so in the early morning. At that time, Notify Ground Crew looks like the blooms are just beginning to close. This has become the only daylily in my garden that I wait until afternoon to deadhead.
