Full Description

SDB 13″ L

From Melrose Gardens catalog for 1977: “Sib (almost – the pollen parents were sibs) to Clap Hands, April Fool and Dragons in Amber. A brown and yellow plicata – but there the similarity to other Standards Dwarfs in this color pattern ceases. Not only is the yellow ground color a full bright tone, but the brown shades of the almost solid standards (midribs dotted yellow) and the heavily peppered falls are a very deep red-brown. Full, wide petals. It blooms quite late in the dwarf season.”
