Daylily 'Swirling Water' (Hemerocallis)

Well was going to wait for a better flower, as this ones not perfect, but unfortunately the other buds have been attacked by the flippin hemerocallis gall midge, first time its flowered too:-( had to pick the buds off several this year, good job it only attacks the early flowerers.

Thanks everyone, just a shame about that one petal, noticed today its sending up another couple of scapes so hopefully they'll escape, just going outside now to check I've got all the affected buds on all the plants, or the grubs overwinter in the soil and next year will have them again.

I love these but never have any success with them. Do you think it's my clay soil or just not enough full sun for them?

They're not really fussy about soil Annella, mines quite heavy clay but do add some well rotted manure when I plant, they do prefer a sunny spot but will tolerate some shade, don't like to be planted too deeply, that can prevent them flowering, just level with where the roots join the leaves,but apart from that tough as old boots, go on have another go, so many gorgeous ones, I've just given in to temptation,again, and bought two more,oops :-))
