I'm just thrilled to have the plant to begin with. Having four scapes on two fans is a serious bonus, and something I would have never expected! Hurray!

Maybe my idea of instant rebloom isn't exactly correct. Looking at the fan on the left, it is very likely that both scapes will be blooming at the same time. I'm sure the taller one will start first, since it is obviously closer to blooming, but I always thought that one scape would get part way done with blooming before the second scape started growing. Like I said before, I have never had a daylily with instant rebloom, so I don't know what happens. The fan on the right looks a little closer to what I'd think of as instant rebloom, since one scape is very tall, and the other is very short. Looks like the tall one could be about done when the shorter one starts. It is mostly the fan on the left that has me totally confused. Happy, but confused! I've had a couple that rebloomed once or twice, but the first scape is always done, and then a short rest period happened, before the new scape started growing.

Gale, I think some daylilies in the database are listed as being instant rebloomers. That would probably come from the hybridizer though, and wouldn't necessarily mean that it would happen for everyone. If a daylily is a consistent rebloomer, it would be great to know! I try to mostly purchase ones that the hybridizer lists as rebloomers, even though that never really works out for me. I've got hope though!

James, thanks again for this beauty! Bullfrog Kisses is happy here too! It is now four fans! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
