daylilies have buds but don't open

i have a bed of daylilies that have lots of buds but seem to just be dormant - only one bud opened in the past 2 weeks. they get plenty of sunlight and this is only the 3rd year. they bloomed good the first 2 years.

Doug says to have patience. They'll bloom. If it's been cold or overcast, wet etc then they're just a little slow. You don't say where you are but all regional gardens in the northeast are late this year.

DAYLILLIES BUDS NOT OPENING
by: Anonymous

I had the same problem and when I picked a bud and picked it apart I found it full of some kind of wormy maggoty looking things inside. This ended up happening to all my daylillies and so they all got torn up and thrown away! Nobody was ever able to tell me how this happens.
