Today we have five species in bud. We present them as follows: H dumortieri This is again an early bud. These plants we have naturalized and they are growing very aggressively and have set hundreds of scapes. I am surprised as to how aggressive they can be. The buds are compact and sessile and they have bracts that approach the mid point of the bud, The scapes are erect and seem to be quite strong.
H dumortieri esculenta This is a variant of H dumortieri and the bud seems to reflect the same characteristic as of this stage. In the three new buds we see that they can be of similar form early on.
H flava This is H lilioasphedelus, the lemon daylily. It has the excessively long bracts along the side of the buds. The rate of growth in the past three days has been modest and there has been extensive rain, 1.5" or more during this period,
H middendorfii The bracts on this are similar to that of H flava, they are long and exceed the bud length. We plan on measuring the length of the leaves and scapes.
H minor H minor seems to be the most aggressive grower at this point. This plant is aside a small culvert and is fully exposed to the sun but somewhat protected from the cold west winds. The bracts appear almost as leaves and are in a cupping formation. The branching is apparent in the buds whereas the others are most likely sessile.
