Christabel Lapham, 1934 TB 34" M S7D Dark red bitone with yellow highlights and gold beards. From Cooley's Gardens catalog for 1940: "Red ... and it will not disappoint the most exacting critic. For sheer brilliance we rank it second only to that of the new Red Gleam from Mr. Lapham, the same originator. Glorious as a garden clump, almost a self, of large size, over three feet tall." (Rameses X Jerry), HM 1936, AM 1938.

Comments: "Absolutely my favorite red. In the right lighting it is very cherry in tone and effect. Such a bright and cheerful flower too. Just fantastic in a clump. The white behind it in my photo is DM winner Mezmerizer." - Mike, WA
