===>It really isn't necessary to deadhead daffodils, Cheryl, unless you just
do it for appearance.

As for daylilies, I don't have a one in bloom yet, although I'm seeing lots
of buds. Surprised you've beat me in New Hampshire. After a jumpstart season,
early peonies, etc., maybe it has slowed down here in SW Ohio.

Hi Bill,

I've been adding extra early season daylilies for years. I love the show to start as early in the garden year as I can manage. I've been collecting as many truly late daylilies as I can find too. Those are actually harder - many of the more recent "late" season hybrids seem to find the cooler temps as reason to shut down or they start blooming around the start of August, which I consider to be late mid-season.
