The deer came during the night and nibbled the buds off before some daylilies bloomed.
I can tell which types are the tastiest because the entire plant is mostly decapitated stalks.
They do not just eat buds, whole arrays of open flowers are devoured.

At least I still have daylily photos to enjoy!
I took down my hanging fence rings for a photo shoot and failed to replace them. I also needed to purchase more green poles. No need now. I have plenty. Hi Ho
I do not mind sharing, but sometimes my wild friends are a bit greedy.
I guess this colorful smorgasbord is irresistible.

It’s painful when they eat buds. Not quite as bad when the flowers have opened and been around a few days. I’ve had fairly good luck with deer repellant, now that I know what they like. The trick is to apply it in time.

I sprinkled it around today. I do not want then to get in the habit of coming here to feast.

I have a wild rabbit living in the bunny yard. This pleases me because I miss my bunnies. It devoured baby tiger lilies I just put out.
The things we do for love…
