Little England Award

I’m trying to learn more about this award–I’m assuming it is named for the Little England Daffodil Farm (gone for years) in Gloucester, VA.
Wondering when it was first introduced and by whom. I’ve looked in Daff Library, but couldn’t find anything–but I’m not an adept “searcher”!
It is named for Larry P. Mains, did he start it? Was he from Virginia?
Thanks. No hurry, I’ve got to get back to my weeding.
