Not to be left out in this year-of-amazing-early-bloom, the daylilies have started. I'm developing new appreciation for some of these front of the border ones.

Fortunately, these are all located where they can bloom and be seen. You can see how they'd disappear behind most daylilies. Note how they're all earlies, too. I probably have a few in my miniature bed in the backyard that are candidates for moving out front and in front.
More later...
