Thanks! I believe you are exactly right. This was also confirmed by a smart person at Pike’s nursery.

I agree…I think probably too much rain on this one!

In my experience two things cause this on daylilies, the first is the sun. Some lilies being in too much sun. I know, it’s crazy, but they have bred them for thick beautiful flowers that often can’t take the scorching sun. The second is rain damage, same thing, thick petals that can’t,stand up to heavy water drops, from either the rain or the hose. I would google both and see what you think. Good luck, Sue
