[Cooley's Gardens catalog 1965]: So vivid and lively that the name is truly in keeping with this sensational new plicata. The color is cinnamon-violet on white, the standards almost solidly colored cinnamon-violet. Beard is orange-bronze. An exceptionally large flower, with perfect balance and ideal ruffling, very broad in all its parts. This is quite different from other reddish or burgundy plicatas previously introduced. It is seedling No. 51-OPE. Heavy stems, extra good branching. 35 inches tall. Each $20.00
