It was selected by Dr. John Creech to honor Benjamin Yoe Morrison in conjunction with the initiation of the USDA's B. Y. Morrison Lecture Series. It was introduced by Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman at the June 26, 1968 meeting of the American Institute of Architects in Portland, Oregon. While not one of the 454 Glenn Dale hybrids, it is probably derived from that effort. Blooming mid to late May with its striking irregular white margin and columnar plant habit, it has proven to be extremely popular.

The evergreen azalea 'Oh My' was one of five unnamed Satsuki hybrids that was introduced from Japan in 1929 by R. Kent Beattie, a senior pathologist in the Bureau of Plant Industry of the US Department of Agriculture who is better known for his efforts with the Kurume hybrids. Named by George Harding in the 1970's, George confessed that every time a woman saw it...that was what she said.

'Lady Cavendish' is a very beautiful evergreen azalea that belongs to the Southern Indian hybrid group. The exquiste flower combined with its "wider than tall" plant habit makes it an excellent specimen for the garden. Perfectly hardy in zone 7, it is worth a try anywhere.
