There's a slight argument going on. Someone claims I dug these up out of an old garden-bed while I *know* that same person bought these from a sale at a nursery last year. While we're pointing fingers at each other, we have no idea what this plant is.

Anyone recognize it?

Daylily.

To be more specific, perhaps Hemeroccolis 'Stella de Oro.'

Here is a link that might be useful: H. 'Stella de Oro'

OK. As for the buds falling off, I see from another FAQ post that it may be a "bud blast." I hope that it isn�t something more severe, and note that I lost some flowers too. Also, apparently I can't figure out how to upload photos. I'll try to do this ASAP.

Yellow flowering grass?

But bulbine flowers aren't 2"-3" - they're more like 1/2" & in spikes - I have some blooming right now. African or walking iris? Wondering how tall the plant is? How wide are the leaves? Are they flat or round?

Thank you!!!!!! I think that is what she has/had...given the cold, it's probably too late, but will try to check it out to see if there is any chance of saving them. Never heard the term before and appreciate your help!!

Thanks and now that you say that, it makes perfect sense from the look of the flowers. I just didn't know that there were oenotheras that tall. Thanks again!

It it is Stella de Oro, it will rebloom intermittently til frost. There are other yellow daylilies that only bloom in spring.
