I take it that H. dumortieri a species plant. It is very pretty and early!

Is this early for you to have one blooming? I know what you mean about the weeds. I just weeded one garden last night but didn't get the mulch down, and this morning after some eveing showers there were all kinds of weed again!

Dumortieri is a species from Siberia. It blooms real early. This year it is blooming later than normal. We haven't seen many scapes yet--just a few. After our cold miserable early spring, it's been so warm here that I wonder if the daylilies will catch up to where they normally would be.

Nothing scaping here in zone 5a except some of my recent arrivals that came already in process. We are going from probably 50's today with the rain to 80's in just a couple of days. That rapid transition doesn't sit well with me, I can tell you.

Dumortieri was late to bloom here too this year. Normally it blooms here in late April, and one year bloomed April 10. It has been in bloom a little over 2 weeks now, but blooms have been more down in the foliage than I have ever seen it. I think Selma Rose will be in bloom in the next day or 2, with Fernstone another day or so after. I see scapes everywhere. We have been having lots of rain, my plants look so huge, I am going to need to divide a lot this fall.
