I am usually the only person that sees my daylilies. Can't see other houses or the road from my flower beds.
It all depends on the weather, but I detest dead heading slimy blooms. So, I live head in the evening.
However, if it is going to be really hot, and flowers will be "shot" by noon... I take a nice look around early in the morning, maybe take some photos, then live head right then. I don't do much pollenating anymore (learned to be very selective!). So, I see them fresh and pretty, then pluck them off.
I don't know of anyone else that does this.... It is rather.... Odd? But, if I get to see them when they look great, and I will then be inside the rest of the day, who's going to see them?
Except the yellows... My favorite daylily color.
They always seem to look good... So I will leave them on in case the evening is nice enough to be back in the garden for a while.
