eaten? dead? stems??? I am confused
We bought our house a year ago and I have loved watching the flowers come up. We have 3 yellow daylilly plants along the front walk and last year they were gorgeous!
Now they look like this:
I have one measly flower and all these cut off stems. What hapened? And look how they all look dead/burned.
AND right around the corner is the black eyed susan plant that was also fabulous last year.
And now...
These stems aren't dead/burned looking but they get a bit more shade.
Could some thing be eating them? I tried googling but I can't even figure out how to describe the problem!
Anyone have any idea here? Are my daylillies done for the season? Can I fix this for either plant?
Thanks!

Re: eaten? dead? stems??? I am confused
I have Happy Returns Daylillies--they bloom all summer. In your picture, those are spent blooms. I cut those out so the plant concentrates its energy on reblooming.
The bottom plant does look eaten. By what, I don't know.
but I never saw any blooms! None at all - and I teach so I am off all summer.
I will get busy snipping and hopefully that will help - is it too late for this season? And oddly enough the yellow flower pictured is still around - and has been for quite some time.

Do you have deer in your neighborhood? It looks to me like they've been grazing your "salad bar."
If it could be deer, buy some Milorganite and sprinkle it around any plants both you and they love. Apparently they cannot bear the scent of Milorganite. At the very least, you'll be feeding your plants with a natural, recycled product. I've been using it around my hostas and so far it seems to be working.
