Last year we anticipated the blooming of our clump of daylilies (Hemerocallis fulva), only to awake one morning and see naked stalks with no flowers. The deer got them. All of them.
From Missouri Botanical Garden: “Hemerocallis fulva is commonly called tawny daylily for the 5" diameter, tawny orange flowers. Individual flowers open for one day.
