Awaiting a proper introduction by a Hemerocallis guru.
Hemerocallis minor photographed in early May in the Montgomery County, Maryland, USA, zone 7 garden of Jim McKenney. It comes as a surprise to many that this elegant, early, fragrant, tiny daylily has been in European gardens since the middle of the eighteenth century. The leaning scapes and low bud count are typical - and may explain its apparent lack of popularity. It is easily grown, sets seed readily and comes true from seed. The flowers have been described as "bell shaped", and they do indeed have a fetching line. The color is a clear, singing yellow without a trace of the tawny family curse.
