The one pictured below has just finished blooming. (I took this about two weeks ago). This morning, I did the final deadheading and cut back all of the stocks...75 in total. I think each one had somewhere between 4-8 flowers on it. That means there were between 300-600 blooms!!! Furthermore, this type of daylily will bloom a second time, although so far, I haven't seen any new shoots. The photo below shows finished blooms, open blooms, and buds waiting to open tomorrow or the next day.
My other daylilies (here's one) aren't quite prolific, but they are also doing well.

Their lovely. I like these a lot.
ReplyDeleteLove them, mine are not doing well this year. I moved them last fall and they're not doing so good in their new spot.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful! I love plants that bloom so prolifically like that.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo! Love flowers in full bloom!
ReplyDeleteHere is my Saturday Snapshot post!
Wow! Your lilies bloomed very well! That is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHow delightful to see your daylilies in full boom. I cut back half of mine this morning. The rest are still blooming. This seemed to be a good year for them.
ReplyDeleteThe heat has really gotten to our daylilies this summer - they're not as pretty or prolific as they usually are. Yours are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHere in Yorkshire we just have two small clumps but they do what they can. They keep offering up a new bud every few days.
ReplyDeleteYou have an astonishing number considering your climate - Manitoba must be white-over for weeks (but your summers are probably better than here, just under the moor and with sea winds rushing through.
Thanks for visiting 199 steps just now.

Oh, the flowers are lovely! Thanks for sharing, and also for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know deer won't eat daylillies. We had such a hard time landscaping our house because we had voracious deer in our neighborhood. I would have loved some of those in my yard!
ReplyDeleteSuch sunny, pretty colors. Love them!
ReplyDeleteYou've made such a beautiful display there. Yellow flowers always look so cheery.
