BRACK: The red daylily, John Wesley, Marlene Buchanan and Wendy’s
By Elliott Brack | The return of an old friend: Last year, this daylily output was a feature photo in this publication, and now the plant has blossomed for another year. It’s located just outside our kitchen window. Its compatriots, the orange type, develop earlier each year, and we await the red daylily’s bloom with anticipation. We found this about old friends: “Say what you want about aging, it’s still the only way to have old friends.”

“We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.”
– German-born Rocket Scientist Wernher von Braun (1913-1977).
