this guy is already 10 inches tall, when the grass is barely green around here, and most of the trees haven’t burst their buds. so far, i have spent this spring fighting the afternoon tireds, as another seasonal transition takes its toll on my alertness and pep. i clearly need a root system with packets of nutritional energy pods, if i’m going to compete with this daylily for springtime perkiness. now i just need to decide if i want to compete with anyone for springtime perkiness.
