Natalie - It's not a dog as long as it's not the commercial yellow daylily dogs. Just wondering .... how did the following blooms (after the very first one) look? Did the blooms get better as the plant aged? I don't think it looks THAT bad, but I do think it's terrible that you had to wait 3 years to see the first bloom. In all honesty, I DO have some patience for some plant species taking years to bloom, but daylilies are not one of them. Epi's (Epiphyllum) ... yes! Daylilies have to bloom for me in one year or they get threatened to be yanked up! LOL! (You'd be amazed at how many decide to bloom after my verbal threat! LOL! .... and a little more fertilizer and water added. LOL!)
