There's no way you could have had a link to Plant Files unless you imported it from PF, manually created entries can't have that. Also, if you edit some of the fields (common name, genus, species, cultivar) then I think the link goes away because it's no longer the same plant that's in PF. So if you've been editing any of those fields that could be why your link's not there.

It's possible there's just a problem with some of the daylilies--I tend to grow things from a number of different genera so I only notice the problem occasionally, but I remember someone else who was entering a bunch of plants of the same genus ran into the problem with a lot more entries. So my suspicion is that there are blocks of plants in PF that have something wrong with them that won't allow the link to be created.

I'm still not 100% sure you're looking in the right place for the link, so just to doublecheck, here's a screenshot from my journal, as far as I know you have to be on the page that looks like this in order to see the PF link, it won't show up anywhere else.
