"B" I can sense your disappointment. I too have had this problem in the past. I'm a half zone cooler if that can be said for the south but here's what I have going on now.
@Seedfork Larry what do you have blooming now while waiting on the daylilies?
Good old amaryllis. Even though our crinum are in the same family, they are later blooming except for bulbispermum crinum.
I got these echinacea from Larry and they are a blooming machine, all summer long too.

Veronica

Clematis

Tiny Monster geranium
Some iris finishing up, some just getting started.
Not blooming but dark leaved Gingunda canna and some variegated giant reed behind it.
Variegated hydrangea
Shade plant strawberry begonia.
Allium Ambassador about to burst forth.
Poppy anemones, have been blooming for weeks, starting to slow down now.
Also salvia is blooming now.
I have found 2 daylilies with scapes, usually 3 weeks til bloom.
So don't fret, I know you have done a lot with your yard!
