No, I haven't seen any of the new intros since I haven't been to visit any hybridizer's since 2003 I think it was. Last time I saw David and Mort nursery, they were still in FL, they have since moved to KY. Personally, I always wait until I can see photos from other gardeners growing a plant, so many of the catalog photos are taken in a greenhouse which makes a big difference as to how they look in a garden. Also, many of the daylilies look so different for us here in Calif. as we just don't have the humidity most of the hybridizer's have.
I do know that David is a master with doubles and reds, both his specialties. Mort does beautiful etched eyes and tends to stay with the bluish eyes and lavender purple blooms. You can just look at a page of their intros and know who produced what!
