Crazy early Lemon Queen

I have two established stands of the fall flowering LQ.

And so much to my surprise I spied a fully developed flower last week. It was only one but even so.

My Allium tuberosum did the same thing. It never blooms before late August at the earliest, but usually mid September. It has one flower cluster right now. Looks very odd. I have to cut it off.

That is funny, my sister, who lives in Newmarket, Ontario, just mentioned this week that she has a flower on her Lemon Queen. I am a few miles south of her but no flowers on Lemon Queen yet. Mine usually gets going pretty late. If I recall correctly, it is at full bloom well into September/October.

I think I spied one tiny yellow flower on mine too. If I recall correctly, it did the same thing for me last year. This is one that starts out extremely slowly with a sparse flower here and there until it's gradually builds up to a stunning crescendo before being knocked out by frost. I suspect that it is considered to be a late-blooming plant because by the time it builds up enough flowers to start making an impact, it is usually late summer! :-)
