I would say it was a racoon. So sad. That happened to me but the coon got my mommy who was sitting on eggs. Fortunately the male found a new mate and moved into a new house nearby and she is sitting on 5 eggs. This house is less accessible to predators (I hope).

Wow! Those are really small! I would keep withholding water until the second one has absorbed it's leaves. I am sure they will turn out all right, the second one is just taking a little longer to develop a new set of leaves. ~palmsandsnow

Kate - I think I've had everything that can plague daylilies in the last year -except earwigs. You laid out the main list of plagues in your comment. But I'll add two more: deer and burrowing varmints. I was out spraying deer repellant by the light of the moon last night. And I'm trying to repair damage in my red bed by an unidentified burrowing animal that has dug tunnels straight through the middles of some of my biggest clumps and has also caused a cave-in. I actually saw a groundhog running in the neighbor's ditch two days ago. I guess this could be the culprit. I live in the city, so why am I getting all this wildlife? Debra

Lovely. You have chosen well and I love the fact that you are willing to take your time to get things right. It's amazing to me how many people expect things to be perfect right away, all at once. That rarely, if ever, works, and takes the fun out of the process. Many of them could learn from your example.
