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. 2008 Introductions...

+ Barry Goldwater* $200.00
34” M Re Ex Ev 6”. The family of former Senator Barry M. Goldwater selected this stalwart beauty to bear the name of one of the most influential US leaders of the 20th century. According to Mike Goldwater, “most of the males in the Goldwater family are called, amongst their other names, ‘Goldie.’” After years of searching, we have found a reliably formed, blazing, orange-gold and red double of great interest. The clear, brilliantly colored flowers with their rich red eye zones light up the garden. The form is full, peony-(petaloid) style, and the blooms are as deep as they are wide. Both substance and color hold well in the sun and the petals show splashes of red at the margins. The recurrent scapes have widely spaced branching and are profusely budded. It is of medium pod fertility and a great parent for breeding quality doubles. Supply is extremely limited. (Descended from an out cross breeding George Rasmussen’s TIGER PARADE to our LAYERS OF GOLD. Ninety nine percent double.

The form is set off by ornate edges, dripping in diamond-dusted sharks teeth and lace in silver and gold filigree. Although the ornamentation is exaggerated more in extremely hot temperatures, the midsummer bloom in KY was as ornate as we have observed thus far. Usually the form is petaloid type but occasionally there are hose-in-hose style formations as well as combinations of the two styles. The sturdy scapes have three to four way branching with 30 plus buds. Descended from FORTUNE’S DEAREST, and bred with five generations of our doubles. Ninety seven percent double.
