I bought my first tetraploid daylily this spring: Madeline Nettles Eyes.
I am new to daylilies in general, but it seems that the blooms on my few diploid plants have opened very soon after the buds started showing color.
The first bud on this tetraploid variety has been showing color since late Friday. In fact, the bud was swollen, and appeared to be ready to burst open. Instead, it's been stuck with only one petal half open.
Is this slowness of blooms opening something that's common with tetraploids, with this variety in particular, or might there be something wrong?
The plant was in a gallon pot when I bought it, and it's still growing in the pot. It seems to be growing well enough, but I was just curious about the long time the bud seems to be taking in opening.
Thanks.
