The first three things I thought of when thinking daylilies and the letter "B" were....
Below Zero. The temp here this morning is -12f. When I first started growing daylilies I used to worry all winter about how they were doing, would they return and grow the next season or would the cold temperatures do them in. Over the years I've stopped worrying. Snow is a good insulator protecting the daylilies even in these deep cold temps and while some of them may not return there are other factors that might have influenced their inability to regrow in the spring.
Second thing I thought of was Branching and all the different ways we describe it. Rebloom can be unpredictable in my garden and varies year to year with the different cultivars so branching is important to me...more branching = more buds. There are various ways to describe branching with 3 way and 4 way appearing to be the most common. Lateral, "V, "W", wide, are a few of the other descriptions also used.
The third was Bugs. The cute bugs... we see lounging on the petals or in the throat and can't resist taking an image of.
And the ones that photobomb us...... now where did that come from...
