From AIS Bulletin #209 April 1973 Introducing GAY FIESTA (Sdlg. 65-3A) TB, 34", Mid-Late. (Gypsy Lullaby X Whole Cloth). Colorful as a Mexican Fiesta. Stiffly held overlapping standards are Chrome Yellow (Wilson 605/3). Wide semi-flaring falls are Imperial Purple (Wilson 33/2), smooth textured and clean. Beard is a burnished copper. Branching is good, displaying 7-8 heavy-substanced blooms very well on the 34" heavy bloomstalk. Ideal for front of border because of its attractive colors and good growing habits. A good parent for a variety of color combinations. HC '66. $25.00. Marvin Olson.
