From Rainbow Hybridizing Gardens catalog 1964: EXOTIC FIRE (Austin '64) + + M-40". Exotic, flaring, carmme-red bitone with prominent thick bright orange beard. Some bright violet streaking and chimeras of up to half of petal. Not only does it have extremely heavy fall bloom, but it has great potentialities as a breeder for exotic color patterns. Now shows only a good start in this direction, but this is the way these things begin. Fertile. Firebright X Autumn Flame. Sdlg. #1100. Regularly $15.00; on $20 order $1O.5O; on $25 order $8.25.
