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. San Luis Vogue
SAN LUIS VOGUE* (Morss) 36" M Re Ex EV 7". This is something of a novelty, and definitely a form break. A blue violet, triangular halo above an acid green throat, accentuates this uniquely formed violet-magenta flower. An EMO, with long, overlapped, oval petals. On occasion, the shape is a unique and stunning new form. Closest to the pinched crispate form in appearance, we've observed the plant exhibit this form for at least five seasons. Shown above without the pinching, an image of its exotic form is posted below. A novelty, and a hybridizer's flower, some of the F2 generation is showing this characteristic. The sturdy, strongly recurrent scapes have 3 - 5 way branching and many buds. Fertile both ways.
