From Fairmount Gardens catalog, 1963: RENITA (Harrison 1963) M.L. This most handsome and distinctive plicata has exceptional beauty, not only in the arrangement of color, but in the form and finish of the entire flower. The broad arched and full standards with a firm midrib are Barium Yellow 503/2 in the center with a one half inch border that is lined and dotted with a rich brown Hazel. (Ridgway) The falls are very wide and flaring having the basic yellow color and the same brown plicata edging as the standards with a slight white flush that meets the white tipped beard. The standards, falls and styles have very ruffled laced edgings that adds to the beauty of the whole flower. The blooms are very broad with 2-1/2 inch standards and 2-3/4 inch falls forming a very large 7-1/2 inch flower. Excellent branching with the flowers well spaced on three way branching stalks. Cinnamon Toast x Banded Beauty. 36 in. $25.00
