DUTCH YELLOW TRUFFLE

(Kirchhoff) 30" E RE EX VFR EV 6".
A distinction that few doubles achieve is to win the rosette for best
seedling in an AHS show. (Only red flowers are more commonly overlooked
by the judges). DUTCH YELLOW won the rosette for best seedling at the
Sunbelt Chapter's 2003 daylily show. It is a bright and beautiful, true
lemon yellow, (RHS color chart 13A) petaloid formed double with pastel
medium rose-coral halo above a yellow to green throat. The form is very
wide and full - usually with 6 extra petaloids. The petals are rounded
and lightly ruffled. Sepals turn down. Petaloids are crested and ruffled.
Smooth, diamond dusted texture. Sunfast color and substance. The strongly
recurrent scapes have 4 way branching. A fabulous parent, fertile both
ways. 99.1% double.

David’s first cross was in 1958, and his love of daylilies continues unabated. He is perhaps best known for his red and double flowered cultivars, although his two Lennington All American daylilies - MING PORCELAIN and CHORUS LINE were shades of pink. His two Stout Medal award winners – BETTY WOODS, the first double ever to win is a golden yellow, as is his single flowered, BILL NORRIS. David eagerly anticipates the challenge of growing and hybridizing daylilies for northern hardiness.
Mort Morss began hybridizing daylilies in 1971, and his cultivars are very popular and widely grown. His award winning, first introduction, was named INNER VIEW and it helped launch the popularity of patterned daylilies. Mort’s Lennington All American Award winning PAPER BUTTERFLY was the first widely acclaimed cultivar with a patterned eyezone. His unwavering pursuit of excellence in the realm of patterned flowers has resulted in a disproportionately large percentage of the most coveted patterned eyes and edges by cutting edge hybridizers world wide. The popularity of his cultivars is such that they usually sell out soon after they are offered and are beloved throughout the world.
