First Hemerocallis blooms

The first Asian daylily  (Genus Hemerocallis) blossoms look like they're just a few days away.

Daylily flowers usually last less than 24 hours. They open at sunrise and begin to die off at sunset, but may be replaced by another on the same flower stalk the next day.

Hemerocallis is native to China, Korea, and Japan and elsewhere in Asia, and popular worldwide because of worldwide because of their hardiness. Most  Daylilies grow in clumps, and I've seen them listed on some invasive plants list.  Most of our daylilies came from neighbors who were thinning theirs, so I guess there's some legitimacy to this. I sometimes see them at weird places along the road in the first few weeks of June.
