Polymerous, I like "SEv -> Ev" or "SEv -> Dor". Those I acquired sure fell on one side or the other in a pretty definite way. They mostly were either very green or very dormant in appearance. It'll be interesting to see how they kick off growth this spring. On that the dormants looked better early last year, but once the warmer weather settled in for a while everything looked to be growing about the same. The hot, dry heat caused temporary dormancy is going to be harder to evaluate because I don't let them get too dry. Nearly all the daylilies showed some stress post bloom during the heat. Actually, some even before bloom was finished. In fact, bloom stalks and stalks with pods may have aggravated that. At least the growth was consistently better soon after I removed the stalks. I'll have to observe that more, though, before I can be sure there is a correlation.
