I received a small shriveled fan of this from G Wild in the Fall of 2020. Quite honestly, it has only had one blooming season, in 2022, when it bloomed from July 6-26 with 12 blooms. I didn't see it last year.

Not a very impressive flower, usually, small, often shriveled or colorless. I only have one good photo of it

Most of them look more like this

It also only popped out one bloom at a time for me. Who knows? Maybe it will show up this year…

Priscilla's Rainbow has been in my garden since 2017. Blooms are at times low in the foliage and consistently the color in my photo. I moved Priscilla's Rainbow last Spring and she did not bloom for me in 2023. My photo is from June 24th, 2022 when the plant had produced a large clump that needed to be divided. Photos each year indicate the plant usually blooms in mid to late June.

I've had this daylily for several years, it is registered as evergreen but is very clearly deciduous ("dormant") here. How does it behave for everyone else? Is it evergreen in warmer zones?
