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. MARGARET TUCKER
(Kirchhoff) 32" ML Re Ex VFR Ev 6 ½ - 7". Named for
Margaret Tucker a daylily friend from Jacksonville. Margaret is a gracious
hostess, avid daylily connoisseur and a fine grower of daylilies. She
and her grandson Chris, hybridize daylilies together. Margaret Tucker's
blooms are flashes of flaming, brilliant mango, pink and peach, with
lime green throats. They're as giant neon sculptures - immense and clear.
When the nights are quite cool, the outer petals open out flat. As the
temperatures reach into lows in the 70's, and highs into the upper 80's,
the outer petals begin to roll back. Though opening early, there is
sunfast color and substance to spare. Blooms are opulently formed and
consistently double in peony or petaloid style, with plenty of ruffles.
The strongly recurrent scapes possess widely spaced, 4 - 5 way branching.
Pollen is very fertile and kids are outstanding. Pods are difficult,
though not impossible. Supply is extremely limited.
