Beautiful...Looks like it could be a Kinchen's Yellow...photo from the IHS site.

Really a gorgeous yellow, white center is so white compared to others I've seen, it gives it a freshly clean feeling look. Do you have any others you might be able to show us.

Looks like Kinchens Yellow, Rum Runner and Georgia's Pearl to me. All beautiful blooming plants and nice growers.

very nice, love the brightness of the yellow & the crisp white throat on the first hib.

They are really vulnerable to mites of some kind, unfortunately, so I usually end up having to zap for bugs when I'm there, to get undamaged flowers to bloom...for someone else to enjoy as a rental guest in my absence. At least I can enjoy the pics.

I love the very first one. I really love the white centers.

I have two large yellows which are similar, Kinchen's Yellow as mentioned first and more recently Yellow Submarine. Since they're both in bloom today I just compared them, and yours comes closer to Yellow Submarine. The white throat of Kinchen's Yellow is not as vibrant, as large, or as long-veined as your picture (and also Yellow Submarine). My YS however has small touches of magenta deep in the throat, but from the angle of your picture I can't tell here.

But this stuff is tricky! I have three cultivars (of another color entirely) that I know from my orders are three different ones, but the tags of all three are now lost. The trouble is, I can't for the life of me tell the blooms apart!

Hope this might help.
