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. SEVENTH SOJOURN*
(Morss) 36 M RE EX EV 7 ½" - 8"
This is the superb, narrow formed daylily that our friend Suzanne Karl
tested for us, and thanks to Suzanne and Dan Hansen who tested it later,
we discovered just how fine a cultivar it is. SEVENTH SOJOURN is glamorous
and unusual in a clear, smooth pastel orchid color with a wine purple
eye. An ornate edge in wine purple outlines the petals. The wine edge
is encircled in white gold pleats and toothy filigree! Opening flat and
widespread, SEVENTH SOJOURN is an EMO in spectacular, ornately ruffled,
narrow form. The texture is smooth and diamond dusted. Substance and texture
hold. The strongly recurrent scapes are erect, well-branched and loaded
with buds. Pollen is fertile, though pods nearly impossible.
