Each of the one's that bloomed last year only had one bloom each. This year all of the hybrids have grown really big and it is only their second year.
So here is the hybrid that just started blooming today. It is 'Ming Toy' X 'Stella D' Oro'. The pictures are from my cell phone and don;t do the colour justice. It is a darker orange than the pictures show. It will be interesting to see if it is a repeat bloomer.
It is my first Daylily to bloom this season. The next one that looks ready is 'Stell D' Oro'.

 Hi, Jake,
Your post is very interesting. Do you have pictures of the parents of your daylily hybrids from last year? What color blooms do they have to get this orange colored hybrid?
Not just daylilies, all lilies appear to be fun and easy to grow. I only have yellow colored daylilies now. But I'd like to try this when I get more in.
Thank you for sharing with us!
