shive1,
Thanks for that info I have starred that post for reference. I accept that different plants may do well one year and not the next but it also seems there are a few that are often stand outs the majority of the years and I like having a few of those to choose from.Anything that blooms thirty days or more during a season is a plus in my book. Yes 2010 was an unusual year for wet weather, but was it 2011 without any winter almost , 2012 pretty normal and the winter of 2013 and spring of 2014 just completely off the chart?
So I guess what I am saying is with the different weather some will still be outstanding compared to the others and those are the ones I am looking for.
We have to accept that no matter what the weather or the conditions a large majority of daylilies will never make the list for longest continuous blooming, it just is not in them, I would guess 90 per cent or more. So that just leaves over 7000(based on no facts) to select the best for longest blooming from, if we just consider the registered ones. Maybe only one percent would actually ever make the all time longest continuous blooming list, anyone out there have any data on that?
Thanks for that reply, and glad you had such a great season with such wet weather. That reminds me how often I have read that water is the key to daylily success, I have some daylilies presently planted in a bog area and am developing more beds there, so maybe I will have very long blooming daylilies with a constant supply of water.
