I was doing yard work today and pulling weeds from numerous garden beds. When I got to the newest daylily bed created this past Fall, I was shocked to see 2 seedlings have produced buds already! This is the earliest buds I've ever gotten!
They are "unbloomed" seedlings I won from "Rich" on the LA this past Fall. Both plants (each a single fan) have buds. The cross is "Laura Mast" x "Dragonfly Dawn". I bought one and Rich sends a freebie fan of the same cross, so I got 2 plants for the price of 1.
(Pod parent) Laura Mast:
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Laura Mast')
(Pollen parent) Dragonfly Dawn:
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Dragonfly Dawn')
Laura Mast is an early to mid-season bloomer.
Dragonfly Dawn is an early bloomer.
So there you have it! Earliest blooms-to-be I've ever had! I will post photos when they bloom.
Anyone else getting buds yet?
