The daylilies of Reno resident Vernon Wallis are in full bloom as the summer heat approaches. Wallis has won several awards for his daylilies, which he grows on his acre lot. He has hundreds of varieites, which he’s collected throughout the years after retiring in the early 1990s from designing highway signs. The North Texas Daylily Society, of which Wallis is a member, has had its competition season affected by COVID-19. Photos by Grant McGalliard
