Most of these have disappeared from my yard without a trace. I'm thinking it's from all the ground squirrels I have in my area. (I also have a lot of wild rabbits too) I think they are stealing and eating them.

Afternoon Delight
Amber Essence
Arctic Burst
Belvi Cloud
Cotillion Gown (died from rot...and I just got this one a few weeks ago Sad )
Evening Drama (shriveled up)
Hello Darkness (bought 2, one died in Winter, the other bloomed with no new growth)
Hot Topic
Inspired
Jurassic Park *
Kathleen Nelson (died in Winter)
King of the Road (bought 2, one died in Winter, the other turned out to be something else)
Maui Sunrise
Men in Black
Mesmerizer (died in Winter)
Micro Burst
Nessun Dorma
Queen's Circle *
River Pearl (shriveled up)
Rock and Roll Girl
Sky Hooks
Softly
Struck Twice (shriveled up)
Swing Town (bloomed with no new growth)
Tennison Ridge (bloomed with no new growth)
Tink (bought 2, one died in Winter, the other is barely hanging on. I think it will die this Winter)

I lost quite a few this year. Thankfully, the vanishing rhizomes have stopped, but the squirrel damages have not. They are digging up and under everything! Grumbling

* Replaced or on the way since posting this thread (copied from Greg)

The ones that died during Winter (and some that are still not doing well) started off as very small and very dry rhizomes. So I had a feeling their success rate would be low.
