What's blooming in April? Day Lily


Day Lily.  Hemerocallis aurabtuaca.  I honestly don't remember planting this.  Perhaps it was a gift.  I only have one clump of it, not my usual planting style.  It's easy to grow.  The Sunset book says it makes a good cut flower. But like many of the plants with long leaves and parallel veins, it is poisonous.  What is it doing in my backyard?  Perhaps I'll buy more to keep it company or perhaps I'll move it to the front yard away from four-legged nibblers.  It just doesn't belong right now.
