Yes, it is common to not have blooms the first summer after planting. Some take a while to "settle in."
Sometimes daylilies will sink after planting, or were planted to deep, or, have to much mulch over them. All of those can mean no blooms too... So if you don't get any next year, you might want to check that the crown is still at the soil line. Sometimes when they are to deep, they will appear sort of "grassy", with lots of thin foliage.
