This is from a different plant. The coloring is similar on the two flowers, but this plant has narrower petals. I think my fancy, ruffled orange daylily was mowed down by the grounds crew. Damn!
I’ve got other varieties that are (finally!) budding out, but this fancy wine colored one is the only one to bloom so far. Daylily Watch 2011 continues!
My daylilies are mostly shaded, so they bloom later than other people’s. I’ve been watching this plant for about a week now, waiting for the buds to start opening. Today was the day!
