This is the first of my group to bloom. I have at least one more that will be blooming within the next few weeks, maybe two. I had more, but lost them to bud blast while I was away *sigh*
Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the form of this dayanum. As you can see, this is the yellow-green leaved type. The colors in the petals and pouch are not especially strong... I'm chalking that up to warm temperatures at this point... the next one should be darker (if temps have anything to do with it). According to Birk, there is a lowland variety and a highland variety, and the lower elevation ones tend to be a little more pale... so that could also be the issue.
Here's a pic of just the bloom:
And one with the leaves...
As Ever,
