TRUFFLE SUNRISE

Kirchhoff. 29'' E RE EX EV 6''. TRUFFLE SUNRISE is among the finest
double yellow daylilies we have ever seen. It's also one of the largest,
and has a lovely salmon halo. Through each of its bloom cycles, it surpasses
all before it in a perfect combining of color, form and performance.
The bright lemon yellow color is enhanced by the well-defined halo of
carrot apricot above the yellow to green throat. The outer petals are
wide, overlapped and ruffled, fully framing the sculptured inner petaloids.
The texture is diamond dusted and lightly corded. The scapes are well
branched and strongly recurrent. Moderately fertile, and a superb parent.
Purple ribbon Sunbelt Daylily Show, 2001. 99.9 % double. Extremely limited.

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.
