It was a dull and rainy day, so that many of the newest blooms seemed to have trouble opening.

Darkside

Well if that's what the dark side looks like, I don't want to go there. (I am hoping that this first flower will soon be followed by some better examples.)

It may look like the photo has "jaggies", but it is actually the petal that does that, not the photo.

This one is always consistent, year after year. The flowers look good, and the plant itself has aged well (which is not always the case with many of my older daylily plants.)

And now, to finish up with one of the cutest little daylilies in my garden.

Karen, it's lovely to see all your daylilies blooms once again. My Lady Fingers is blooming too, but Mariska has still to open her first flower.
Interestingly, Joan Senior was one of my first bloomers (perhaps the very first...I must check) last year. This surprised me because you had told me that it's a later bloomer. This summer the first 2 buds have just opened.
Barbara Mitchell had 2 first blooms yesterday as well.
