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. ZEBULON

These gorgeous blooms are punctuated by dark violet purple eyezones
that show above the rose phlox lavender background color, with one quarter
inch wide purple borders edged in white. The throat is chartreuse yellow
to green. The round flat form has three inch wide overlapped, round
petals and slightly recurved sepals. Both substance and color hold well
in the intense heat. Scapes are well branched and strongly recurrent.
An exceptionally fine pollen parent (for eyes and double edges), though
a difficult pod parent.
Sib to Martina Verhaert. (Forest Phantom X Druid's Chant).
