I did not lose any of the plants, they have all done well with one exception. It was doing fine until the really hot dry weather hit, 'Blue Moon Rising" did not bloom and has really diminished in size till now it is very frail (summer dormancy) is what I have attributed it too.
I would say about half bloomed and about half did not.
'Siloam Double Classic' did bloom, but the blooms were mal-formed and there were very few of them.
'Primal Scream' had nice full sized blooms. 'Alabama Jubilee', 'Red Volunteer' 'Nagasaki', 'Bonnie Corley', 'Fooled Me', all bloomed and have grown nicely. As far as blooms I think 'Super Purple" and 'South Sea Enchantment' and 'Orange Velvet' had the most blooms.
Photos Just taken today:
This is my very frail 'Blue Moon Rising',

'South Sea Enchantment' and 'Primal Scream' are more typical of how the plants look.

This is a photo of the two rows of plants I bought from In The Neighborhood Daylilies, just down to the second red Salvia by the Crape Myrtle. Past that over near the cold frame are some seedlings and some small transplants that have grown up this summer.

I was well pleased with my order, the plants were all a nice size (not super size) but why some bloomed and some did not I don't know. I received some plants from G. H. wild at about the same time, they were much smaller, but all of them but one bloomed.
