From Melrose Gardens catalog, 1965: TATTOO (Sanford Babson) 36" midseason (Voodoo x Storm Warning) X ('Dark Red Seedling). A compellingly radiant deep yellow (surprised?), but with bold burnt sienna brown welling out of the heart of the flower and flowing the full width of the fall down to the tip of the glowing orange beard. Faint veining continues over the yellow ground to the edges of the broad and flaring falls. Wide, full standards are domed. Stems are well branched and foliage healthy. $25.00
