A molasses and honey blended plicata of great size and excellent branching, embracing the quality of Taholah, one of its parents, in a taller and flashing combination of colors. The adjacent illustration shows what to expect…a giant Firecracher, deeper, richer and with twice the stem of this fine old favorite. Height 36-38 inches. Seedling No. 29-3EE.
From Rainbow Hybridizing Gardens catalog 1963: MY HONEYCOMB (Gibson '59) EM-36" A yellow plicata with standards strongly flushed golden amber; falls flaring, etched with red russet which concentrates in the haft. Large white blaze at end of light yellow beard. HM'60, JC '61. Regularly $6.00; on $10 order $4.50; on $25 order $3.95.
From Fleur De Lis Gardens catalog 1963: MY HONEYCOMB (Gibson ' 59) M. 36 in. (Probably from Taholah ). Described by the Introducer as a brighter Firecracker. However, as we saw it, the colors were cream white with yellow tan markings and it seems to be pictured that way. H.M. 1960. 5.00.
