Lemon lily?

Morris, IL(Zone 5b)

Here's my first lily bloom of the season. I was told it's not a true species, but a cultivar introduced after 1920. Very Fragrant!

Beautiful! According to Ben Arthur Davis, daylily expert, there were two species mentioned in the early literature, one was the lemon lily, going back to 1575! Linnaeus named it Hemerocallis lilio-asphodelus flavus. He later shortened the name to H. flava. I believe the name has changed again, back to the original! Yours could well be a cultivar, it look a little more substantial than the species...

REDROSE, Hyperion also has a nice lemon scent.
