Don't laugh at this poor thing. It's always the first to bloom for me in zone 5 and it reminds me of where all these fancy dayliles got their start. This is middendorffii var. esculenta. Besides blooming so early for me, it also reblooms in the fall which many of the modern daylilies that are listed as rebloomers fail to do.
Oh Dot, those are beautiful. I especially like Pirate Moon.
Susan, I envy your species daylily for its early bloom season and rebloom. It may not have all the bells and whistles of many hybrids, but if it's blooming this early, it's a keeper

The blooms just seem to be getting more beautiful with every post -- WOW! I love so many of them that it's absolutely overwhelming! And suddenly I have blooms popping out all over the place here -- can't keep up...
If THE INCREDIBLE EARL WATTS is included in the raffle at the regional with the Salter plants I know which slot my tickets are going into I really like that one. If I don't win James just picked one up when he went to the Mecca.
