My response may not have been worded very well, but I did understand that you were saying that the daylilies don't bloom at the same time each year, that it could be early or late depending on the weather. I was just surprised that the protected ones did not seem to bloom any sooner than the un-protected ones. I would have thought that especially during a year like last year that the protected ones would have been farther advanced and bloomed say by the end of May compared to the 5th of June for you,if not even earlier.
I am going to check on the daylilies tomorrow, the ones that were not covered and see if they suffered any damage tonight with the temp. dropping down into the twenties.
Looking back on my photos( this would just be close I did not actually make a note), but this is when the first daylily pictures appear, March 20th for 2012. April 16th was the first bloom in 2013. Too early I guess to tell yet if this will be an early or late blooming year, but it seems like it is going to be on the late side.
