I am a daylily lover. I have found that once the initial scapes finish blooming, no other scapes come up and, of course, no other blooms develope. So, why are some daylilies called re-bloomers?
Who knows the answer?
Why are some daylilies called re-bloomers?
i have been growing award winning day lilies for over 15 years. am also a master gardener with univ of Calif. so you can count on no spam or guess work from me. many of the hundreds of new day lilies coming out each year are called repeat bloomers because.... they repeat bloom. you were expecting me to say something different? day lilies have always been a single bloom cycle per season. bloom once and see ya next year. not any more. repeaters have 2, 3 and even 5 bloom cycles a year. especially hear in the west. i have a few that did 6 cycles last year. i had beautiful bloom thur Christmas. it's almost a shame to waste time with single cycle plants. but there are still many outstanding single cycle day lilies that are so wonderful, that the one time a year bloom is worth it. great, easy to grow, almost carefree plant. some purples and blood reds will knock your eyes out. check some out in your garden. you won't be sorry.
Reply:Because some are bred to rebloom-- sometimes later in the summer. Like fragrance-- some have it, some don't. Like size, some are 36 inches tall, others arent.
If you will google Missouri and daylilies-- you may get a breeder (whose name excapes me right now)- get their catalogue and it gives you the varieties and their blooming habits.
good luck
Reply:I believe they will come up year after year.
Reply:I think its because some types of daylily's will bloom again once they've finished blooming.

Does someone know the name of this flower? I think it's a kind of daylily although it's planted in the water.

I'm gonna have to disagree with Maverick there. I think it looks much more like a Spider Lilly in the genus Hymenocallis which IS in the family Amaryllidaceae.
If you notice, the original question notes the plant was growing in water, and Hymenocallis prefers wet habitats where as Pancratium prefer dry habitats.
Here are some pictures of the Spider lilly:

Reply:Hymenocallis means "beautiful membrane" in Greek, which refers to the staminal corona.
The prifix 'hymen' is significant here . Report It
Reply:It is pancratium No doubt.
Pancratium is a genus of about 18 species flowering plants in the family Amaryllidaceae, which also including the genera Narcissus (true daffodils) and Galanthus (snowdrops).
The genus is found along the coastline of the Mediterranean area extending to the Canary Islands, tropical Africa and tropical Asia.
The plants are herbaceous perennial, growing from bulbs. The flowers are large, white and fragrant. Perianth tube and corona are present.
Plants belonging to the genus Pancratium have been found in prehistoric Cretan frescoes.
"Pancratium" is derived from the Greek and means "strength", probably referring to the strength of a plant that can tolerate extreme climates.
Pancratium species often inhabit extremely dry and sandy areas.
Many species has been published under Pancratium but most have been transferred to other genera.
Only a few species are cultivated. P. maritimum and P. illyricum being the hardiest for outdoor cultivation, but shy of flowering in cool areas. P. zeylanicum is sometimes grown as a hothouse container plant.

What are some examples of parallel venation (leaves)?
I know that daylily and corn leaves are, but what about palms?
I have a project that I need to do and I can't find any corn or daylily leaves, but we have palm leaves.
What are some examples of parallel venation (leaves)?
The Monocotyledons like Grass, Lilies, Amaryllis, Bananas, Orchids.
Excuse me: I just saw the small detail sentences.
You can take the palm leaves and you might find some grass-leaves too.
Reply:yes, it is considerable. striate or parallel is the same

I cut some roots of my tree (when dividing a perennial), now the roots are sprouting. How to stop that?
I cut some roots by accident on my weeping cherry tree when I was dividing a daylily. The roots are constantly sprouting now, how do i stop that? Thanks!

I had this occur with a honey locust tree.
I just kept cutting the new shoots to ground level whenever they sprouted. It took a couple of growing seasons and diligence, but eventually the suckers stopped coming up and it didn't harm the tree or other plants planted in the same area.

How do I kill off fescue and crabgrass with out chemicals?
My flower bed has been taken over by fescue and crabgrass, is there a way to kill off the weed seeds without killing the Iris and DayLily in the same bed. Do not want to use chemical as have a 4 yr old grandson who plays in that area.
How do I kill off fescue and crabgrass with out chemicals?
Try spraying the leaves of the plants you don't want with bleach. Yup, good old household beach. You may want to take an old empty bottle cut the bottom out so you can place it around the plants you don't want then spray the bleach in the opening of that bottle. That way you don't get bleach on anything but the plant you want to kill. The other way to do it is good old table salt. Sprinkle the salt at the base of the plant. When it rains, the salt dissolves into the soil and dries the roots out. The problem with that though, is it may kill some of the other plants that the salt leaches to in the rain.
Reply:Depends how closely planted it is. If not too dense, i would pul up all the weeds you can see then mulch with about 4 thicknesses of newspaper, overlapped well at the edges and put some compost or grass clippings or other loose mulch thickly on top. This will stop seeds germinating and will help to kill off the roots left in. But make sure the soil is well watered before you do it as rain will not penetrate well. The newspaper will rot by next spring.

Is it okay to eat lily buds(golden needles) while breastfeeding?
I use lily buds, also known as golden needles in my asian cooking. Is it okay to eat this while breastfeeding? The lily bud is often used in asian dishes and comes from the edible parts of the daylily. Thanks!
Is it okay to eat lily buds(golden needles) while breastfeeding?
No problem. They are delicious when added into Chup Chye (Chinese vegetable stew). they are high in fiber and contains no calorie.
Reply:It's a form of vegetable so i think its fine... But anything too much is bad for you...
