From AIS Bulletin #261 April 1986 Introducing FAME (Weiler 86) TB 36" (92 cm) M-VL. This brilliant yellow-orange flower has deep orange-red beards, fine form and exceptional smoothness. Stalks have 3 well-spaced branches plus terminal and 7-8 buds. Good foliage and vigorous plants are other desirable features. Outstanding is the tendency for this plant to produce additional bloom stalks, even on one year plants just about the time the first bloom stalks are finishing. This habit s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s out the bloom season. 79-157-19: 74-101-2: ((((Glittering Gold x Orange Crush)) x (Ballerina x Orange Crush)) x ((Cloth of Gold x Ballerina) x Pompano Peach)) x Fresno Calypso) X 77-15-2: (Georgia Girl x (((Ola Kala x Orange Crush) x Pompano Peach) x (Moon River x Orange Crush))). $30.00.
