Believe me, it made a statement this morning! When I opened the front door to let the cats in for breakfast, 'Scarlet Pimpernel' called out "look at me and what a beautiful morning"!
It grows right at the bottom of the front steps; this is its 4th year and while it has bloomed nicely other years, not with 7 flowers fully open all at once. I couldn't get a good picture of the clump, my eyes seemed to see it more clearly than the camera lens.
But this was one of those WOW moments for me as a gardener!

Nice to see you in the daylily forum, Linda! What a fantastic way to start the day, and such a terrific daylily to do it with! Do you have others we'll be seeing? And, any chance your photo will get added to the database? I love side-shots like that which not only show the flower but its 3-dimensional shape, too.

I have a seedling that I almost disposed of last year because the scapes would always fall over. This year, which is the 3rd season, scapes are tall and not leaning and the bloom is huge.
