I havent had that experience with the Wild Horses which has remained the same single plant for the past 3 summers. The first summer it did not bloom. 2nd summer I got 2 blossoms with the great bright white outer color and wine purple center. This year I have around 8 blossoms on the one single plant but it decided it now wanted to be orangy/ivory color in place of the white. This was not an early season bloomer as it just started the last week of June with its first blossom opening (zone 6-Southwest)

Since it is early blooming, it is not likely to bloom now in the middle of July. I see there are no positive ratings at all from California.

An Early Blooming Tetraploid and a Rebloomer. She is almost identical to her sister Egyptian Queen from the same batch introduced a year later by Trimmer,that is an inch taller, has 5 buds more and a pinkish peach flush tone to the cream petals that Wild Horses doesn't, but has none of the charachter and beauty that Wild Horses has. My very favorite cream and purple halo tall scape daylily was Navaho Talisman, but the bud count on Wild Horses and health and hardiness, puts the lower bud count and slow to spread spead of Navaho Talisman, even though still a great beauty, too shame. mike.
