References:

From AIS Bulletin #289 April 1993 Introducing PATRIOTS GEM (Gadd 1993)-AB-MED-18"-EM. Seedling #lA-84. Lady X Vindaloo. A self of wonderfully subtle color which could be described as bluebird blue or soft soldier blue, accented by darker shadings in the midribs and style arms, with edges of all parts highlighted in pale gold; beards of palest blue with each hair tipped gold. Classic form just slightly suggestive of its aril heritage; fine substance and finish; 2 branches, 4 buds. A fine grower and generous bloomer, with exceptionally clean green foliage which persists even in the heat and drought of a New England August. This has been attracting favorable attention for several years, receiving an HC under seedling number in 1988 and another under name in 1992, with 7 votes. $20.00. Lynn & Peter Markham.
