Several of my lilies have gall midge, apparently it happens to the early flowering varieties, might have to change all my plants to mid and late flowering Hemerocallis...

I have this one but it's a little early for it yet. What is "gall midge"? I haven't had a problem with it yet going on 3 years.

Bathgate the buds fail to open and become distorted and ugly, getting to be quite a problem over here, only noticed it the last two years.... The RHS have listed suitable varieties to buy that should be OK....

OK thanks for the explanation. I'll keep a look out for it. I really love the deep brick-red color.

So do I, at the moment all the rest are all coming up orange!! is it possible for daylilies to revert?

I don't know enough about them on that level to give you an answer. However, two people on here who may help you are Wylieintheazores & Simbad. They really get into the scientific aspect of daylilies; pollentation, cross breeding and all of that. I would head in that direction.

Thanks for the heads up DD - I have gall midge too it would seem.
If this is going in the bin though...............

What a stunner! This one looks healthy enough.....what a pity about the midges. Neither of mine are flowering yet. I have Kwanso, which seems to come later, and a new yellow one that is just about to flower.
