My Favorite Bloom of the Week...

Marietta, OH(Zone 6a)

I purchased these Peruvian Daffodil bulbs from a clearance rack at Walmart. Planted them on a sunny side of the back porch, and all 6 came up. This one really shot up after the heat and humidity set in for a couple days. The first bloom popped out mid-day, and I had just checked it earlier in the morning when watering. Different, but really pretty! I'm hoping the bulbs reproduce, would like to have a really big bed of these eventually.
After checking DG Plant Files and Googling various sites, I noticed that they are listed as Hymenocallis narcissiflora, not Hemerocallis or Ismene as the label stated, which refers to a daylily...? The first bloom came out on Wednesday and is still open and pretty, as is the second, which came out on Friday.

That is one unusual flower. It's really pretty. Does is have a fragrance?

I love those flowers. I was tempted to buy myself some but by the time I got around to it, I was too late. I'm hopefully planning on getting some next season though.

yes, it does have a slight fragrance. reminds me of a daffodil-ly perfume... for lack of a better term!
