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. BRANDY ALEXANDER
(Kirchhoff) 30" EE Re Ex Dor 5 ½". The blooms of
this handsome beauty are an earthy color, marked with a yellow border
outlining half or more of the petals. The color is unique in hues of
rich brandy, date and chocolate -- dark and intense -- with a lighter
cloverleaf shaped watermark infused with yellow, above a flash of green
at the throat. The finish and substance are leathery and saturated with
a rare depth of color. An EMO, circular formed, with overlapped, slightly
recurved petals and sepals. Graced by a long season of bloom (even for
Florida), the strongly recurrent scapes are well branched and carry
ample bud count. Fertile, though moderately difficult pod set.
