| Just wondering how early/if early are your DL's this year? I noticed this weekend that I have 5-6 DL's with scapes already. Usually I get scapes/blooms the end of June. So, for me, it is about 3-4 weeks early this year.
Sure is a goofy year. My roses have already peaked and I am needing to start deadheading. Peonies and iris are done. Gosh, I am wondering what I will have left to bloom in August!!! |

| Our daylilies started blooming in March, and they are winding down now. Rebloom scapes are coming up for some cultivars, along with seed pods ripening. This is 4-6 weeks ahead of the normal schedule. Of course, we are "way down south." Nancy |

| My first blooms in 2011 were June 24. This year they were yesterday (May 30). Everything has been consistently about 3 weeks ahead for me this year, from bulbs to roses and now daylilies. I'm hoping this means I might get good rebloom... ~Anika |

| I read the posts every day and enjoy them and all the beautiful pictures. My daylilies are 3 to 4 weeks early. I don't think I'll have many blooming by July. I'm in zone 6. Rosy |

| It surely has been a crazy year and the plants are all confused. My daylilies are just starting and are 3 weeks early. One has an instant rebloom scape already, and the first scape hasn't even bloomed yet! The daffs were the most disappointing though. They were in a race to the finish, it was so hot they didn't want to stick around. Thalia, one of my favorites, only had blooms for 2 days. I had only one variety of daff that seemed untroubled by the heat and that was Tahiti, the blooms lasted and lasted. Christine |

| Yes, early. BLACK EYED STELLA is blooming and it usually starts June 21st. |
|
| Mine are early too. I have scapes on 2/3rd of them, and I found the first scape in the beginning of May! The earliest before was the end of May. The Stellas and the like are blooming already, and have been for about a month, that's early for them too. Peonies are done, and roses are done already. And, mums started yesterday (usually, the variety I have starts in August). Crazy :) |
|
| Mine were also early. They started at the beginning of April this year, while last year they were blooming late April/early May. To be fair though, a few of mine were blooming last year in mid March, so I guess these are sort of early AND late. lol Nothing much will be blooming here during most of July and August. Too darn hot and a lot of stuff goes dormant. Starting back in September, roses etc will bloom into January before going dormant again for six weeks or so. |
