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. PEGGY TURMAN
(Kirchhoff) 24" L Re Ex Sev 6". Named for Nashville's Peggy
Turman, prominent daylily connoisseur and judge, virtuoso pianist and
chef extraordinaire. This daylily is quite likely be the quintessential
double pink daylily for years to come. A total self, Peggy Turman is
clearer, tastier, and more sunfast in color and substance than any baby
pink ribbons ever tested! The form is full and round, consistently displaying
3 sets of petals in the hose-in-hose style. Visitor after visitor has
commented that this is the most beautiful double daylily they've ever
seen. Even gardeners who don't care for doubles have stopped to admire
it - and asked to reserve a plant. The large, vigorous plants display
the blooms above upright foliage on strongly recurrent, well-branched
scapes. Peggy Turman is a difficult, though not impossible parent, and
a consummate garden plant. Stock is very limited.
(Frances Joiner X Virginia Franklin Miller) 100% double.
