Could be a prebloom scape. I had some that, thinking back, were likely preblooms as they have not scaped yet and they were blooming by this point last year.
I have abloom open on JOHN KULPA today but it's not the most photogenic. They buds developed while we were having cooler weather so the bloom is lacking the edge. I think the later ones will be nicer. Didn't stop me from putting pollen on it though!
