Autumn has been so warm and frost delayed so long that most of the late daylilies finished flowering completely, but Late Summer Rose and Back to School still had buds when frost finally threatened. I cut the stems and brought the buds inside. Some were quite large and flowered quickly, but others were small. I expected them to dry up and fall off, but, to my surprise, they grew bigger! Fed only by tap water they more than doubled and in size, and finally they bloomed.
Of course, they only lasted one day. Good night, miracle babies...until next year!
