I think it would be nice too, if it worked. But I read and re-read this little blurb and like I said it is worded interestingly. He doesn't say he has a daylily with blooms that last more than a day. Maybe I am hung up on technicalities here, but 'flowers' is a noun and a verb depending on how you use it. Also, he says he is 'sure' about the valuable information his plant could provide to scientists.... I think the article is saying he is looking for interested parties to sell his plants TO. But the whole thing is not worded well, translation glitch or something?
