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. POINT OF HONOR
Kirchhoff. 30'' E RE EX EV 5''. Thick and opulent with great depth
of color and symmetry. The bloom is saturated in blood red with a blue
satin finish, deepening above a chartreuse throat. There is no orange
to be seen in the color. The texture is silky smooth. Seducing you -
the impeccable form is round and all dressed up in precise and generous,
ruffling. From the throat outward onto the petals, a beveled midrib
enhances the satin smooth texture. The strongly recurrent scapes have
3-way branching, and average 15 buds. Very fertile, and an easy parent
both ways. Extremely limited! [REASON FOR TREASON X (LEONARD BERNSTEIN
X SEEDLING) X (SEMINOLE RUBY X LADY ARABELLA)].
