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.

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.

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.

I've seen live specemines, this very morning in fact, that looked to be a much stronger yellow that his photo would suggest and which seemed to have more recurve to the petals.
