I've grown it for a few years. It's got lovely blooms. I would make sure to plant it in full sun as my scapes lean...a situation I hope is corrected this year (one tree to be removed....the other, the neighbors have cut it way back). The performance here has not been impressive, but that could very well be due to the situation above and also...the plants I received originally. And, of course, it just might be tough going here! I bought mine in 2006 (probably after bloom season) and saw the first blooms last year. I was about to give up! I still have it because the blooms are beautiful. See link below to a photo from last summer on my blog. Here is a link that might be useful: Stargate Portal...scroll down

Welcome! No matter how much I might like the face of a pretty daylily, I've gotten much better at getting rid of the ones that underperform. Real estate in my garden is scarce now, so if I had a daylily that only gave me one scape after ten years, I would get rid of it. Then you've acquired space to add something you like even more.

I've noticed that some people tend to have recurring problems - they run out of gas, they overspend on their credit cards, they have problems with kids, they have traffic accidents or ticket problems, etc, . It's not that some people have all of these problems, but rather some people seem to be prone to having recurring problems of one sort or another. This seems to be true of malware infections too. While there can be an element of good/bad luck involved, there's also (in my view) an issue of recognizing when a particular practice leads to an unwanted consequence, then a rational thing to do is to change your actions. Maybe I'm lucky, but my security software and reasonable but not OCD practices avoid malware problems entirely. I don't read about it, follow it, or lose sleep or worry about it. I'm sure future incidents will occur, but prevention is easy and recovery is also easy. Desktop linux use is proposed by enthusiasts but seems to be dead on arrival. The percentage usage is tiny and not growing- if you rounded off, it rounds to zero. Even in enterprise settings where linux expertise is available from IT departments, there seems to be little interest in it.

Sherry, your second image looks a lot like Decatur Jewel. Of course without the stats, height , bloom time , whether its a dip or tet , size of bloom etc .it is impossible to be sure . Here is an image of Decatur Jewel borrowed from the net . It is also possible that it is Final Touch , a similar looking daylily . If you have had this plant for a long time and never divided it before , yes it is possible for the plants blooms to get smaller , also possible for the plant to stop blooming entirely. It is almost like a tonic for the plant when it gets divided when it is as large as yours appears to be.
