From AIS Bulletin #225 Spring 1977 Introducing FRESNO FIESTA (Weiler '77). #69-35. 36", M-L. This broadpetaled self of full orange-buff (RHS 507/1) with bright orange beards is described by visitors as apricot. The domed standards and flaring falls are nicely ruffled and complete the picture of a bright and fluffy gown reminiscent of a Spanish folk festival. Sturdy stalks bear 3 branches plus terminal and 7-9 buds beginning midseason and lasting to late. Fertile both ways. Gold Cargo X Sexton 36-65: (New Frontier x Chinese Coral) x (Moon River x Glittering Amber). $25.00. Rialto Gardens.
