El Glorioso is my goofy clown daylily: its gigantic, floppy blooms sit on top of a rather short, stubby body of leaves and scapes. Five years old, it has never bloomed for more than one month, if that. This year it stopped blooming after one month, then a few weeks later, sent up new scapes, started blooming again, and continues to bloom as of this writing. Who knew?
Close relatives all blooming at the same time: Cordovan Skies, Pink Charm, and the ubiquitous tiger lily. Cordovan Skies and Pink Charm were both bred directly from the tiger lily. Pink Charm (center, partially hidden by a Cordovan Skies blossom) was the first pink daylily ever bred. The three cousins begin blooming at different times: tiger lilies first, Cordovan Skies next, then Pink Charm, so catching them all blooming at the same time is a phenom that lasts a week or two at most.
