Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Bumble Bee')

I planted Bumblebee in August of 2020, just before I started to notice or care what was what or where I put it. I know it bloomed a few flowers in 2021, and I know it was on Upper Daylily Hill, probably near the top. But I haven't seen it since, and for all I know, it didn't make it. I have it listed as a former Daylily in my list.

It's cute, anyway!

I have had this for years. I have not kept many minis, and this is definitely the smallest daylily I have. It thrives on neglect and weeds, even reblooming. I don't know that I would call it an extra early bloomer though. I have several that bloom well before it. Blooms well, grows well, and is quite cute.

2023 update…Bumble Bee put in a reappearance! Now I know exactly where it is. This year it bloomed from June 28-July 14 with at least 14 blooms. And yes, it is a cutie!
