Tink, I keep detailed records of when my plants bloom. ... it keeps me busy. If Becky is 9b, then I'm 9a irregardless of what that updated map says!
Here's what happened in my garden this year--
First bloom was on Wingbeats on 3/24/13 and Barcode was the second to bloom on 3/26.
By April 15, 26 plants had their first blooms and that is 36% of my daylilies (73 named cultivars).
The last bloom in the garden was on Laughing Feather on 10/13
My husband just says--look at all the hard work you do! My response is that I work hard because I expect A LOT out of my garden and it seems to be working!
At least that's what I tell myself.
