First cycle of blooms in June has been typical here in Florida, too. This year though we had Spring temps earlier and I had blooms earlier. My first cycle of blooms was May instead of June this year. So that is only 1 month off from normal. Bill's bloom cycle is similar to mine. But I've never had blooms this late in the season. This is Fall, not Spring or Summer. Zoe Allegra is listed as a mid-season bloomer, but not a re-bloomer. Mid-season meaning July or August? This is the middle of October! I received numerous daylilies this season and none bloomed or rebloomed this late. In fact, that plant will be the only one unless another daylily surprises me.

It is warm here and will be through December, I could absolutely have late or re-blooming daylily flowers. That is why I ask about the fertilizer or what Bill might be doing to prompt late blooms like this. I want to know his secret if there is one! My climate would be a good climate to have late or re-blooming daylilies, so how do I get my plants to cooperate?
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
