I live to the south of Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire. Somewhat overcome by the work needed in the garden, I share bits of it! Twitter @oldgreyheron

Our first day lily flower has opened this morning. This year there are very many more to come, unlike last year which was dreadfully disappointing.

First day lily of the year to open. Always a reminder of our first visit to the coast of Maine when my brother and sister-in-law lived there.

I don't know. Interested in the answer though. Sometimes I have roses that do that.

I've had similar with my Dahlia and Aquilegia...I had terrible blackfly on the Dahlia, so thought it was that but not in the Aquilegia - wondered if it was the mulch I used last Autumn - too strong..?

What makes hemerocallis buds do this? #advice please

Could be gall midge apparently, they make the buds deform/small and then they go mouldy inside - I will tag you in a post about them
