First bloom on new arrival, but from New England, so it may bloom here even earlier next year. This is Mike Huben's "Begin with a Bang", of interest to hybridizers because it's extra early but NOT Yellow or Orange. I'm hosting it for the GSDG auction this year or next, depending upon how it does this summer. Because my job is to make it grow, I have to cut off this scape now, since I've confirmed identity.
I keep Mexicali Miss ONLY because it's early. It does have interesting veining.
Hi Terry, I was so busy ordering late bloomers last Aug. that I didn't think to look for early bloomers! I found a yellow 'Eenie Weenie' at a local nursery and, other than Stellas, it's my first daylily bloom this season! I do love the mis-labeled 'Echos in the Mist' and Stella's Sparky.
