References:

From Carl Salbach catalog 1940: ORANGE FLAME (Salbach 1940). (Copper Lustre X Radiant). If you can picture Radiant with blooms twice as large, just as brilliant in color, on perfectly branched stems three feet high, you will have a fair picture of Orange Flame. Plants make vigorous growth, increase rapidly and are liberal in production of flower stalks. Blooms are well proportioned, standards remain closed until the flower wilts. Semiflaring falls. Standards are burnished golden orange and falls a brilliant coppery red. A clump of Orange Flame in our seedling bed carried four flower stalks, and on account of its brilliance stood out like a beacon light. We consider this by far the best of our originations. Mid-season. 36". Stock limited, only one rhizome to a customer. $25.00.
