The Earliest Daylilies

Daylilies in April! Old Pa Pitt likes to claim that he has the earliest daylilies in Pittsburgh. They came from an unnamed hybrid seedling, which just happened to inherit an assortment of genes that, juggled and shaken together, made plants that bloomed at the end of tulip season.

Can you prove that you have daylilies in tulip season? you might ask. Well, for that purpose, old Pa Pitt actually planted a tulip in front of the daylily patch.
