Can anyone tell me what kind of flower is pictured here:
It is a type of daylily (hemerocallis), but as to which of the number of species or umpteen zillion cultivars it could be, I couldn't be more specific.

Hmm - I missed the original post - were are you? I'd bet on a species.
Cheryl
That's one bet you would lose, Izzy.
Stella D'Ora daylilly. What do I win????
This flower is growing in Massachusetts.
Thanks to Pam and Lisa for the Daylilly ID.
** Captain InfinityDefinitely NOT Stella D'Oro daylily.
You win a stay in the penalty box and one hundred demerits for poor spelling!
Most of the early bloomers are species or - my thought was H. middendorfii - mine is in bloom and has the same dark anthers. Bitsy is rounder and it looks too dark to be Corky. T'aint SDO though.

Sorry, but I don't think it is a Stella, at least not a typical one. Here is a picture of a Stella from my garden. They are blooming in mass her right now and are spectacular (although over used) in mass. You can see that on a Stella, the petals form a complete cup and the pollen isn't dark like in the picture that the OP posted:
Oh crap. How vexing.
Lisa
With pleasure,,,,,now, had I pried myself away from the keyboard and , you know, walked outside, I would have known better.
Silly, silly me

I though that at first it was a daylily called "revolute" but it is so difficult to tell about colors in photos that now it seems less certain.
