We have had a long wet spring. And although we get a hot one day here or there it goes back to cool with low humity. Usually its morre humid and hot than it has been this year.

I usually fertilize with Plant Tone and dried manure in the spring. This year I used Flower Tone on all the daylilies but its made by the same company. Honestly don't know if the change in fertilizer had any effect but it might have. I intend to use the Flower Tone again next year so we will see.

I was looking back at pictures from last year and they are much paler than this year for sure. The daylilies are so vibrant this year they just seem to jump right out from the pictures. And they really are true to color on my moniter.

I tried changing the settings on my camera to a lower resolution thinking it might make the pictures upload here faster. So I tried the one now and no dice. It still took the same amount of time. Bummer. I might change it back.
