Father Pitt will not claim that this is the earliest daylily in Pittsburgh. But it blooms about this time every year, as the tulips and trilliums are fading, and when very few other daylilies are to be seen. Most daylilies bloom in June and afterward. This one was an unnamed hybrid seedling planted many years ago; it has since formed a big clump.
A slightly later bloomer than the common dooryard lilac, the compact Korean Lilac (Syringa pubescens subsp. patula) is also more intensely scented.
