RED EARTH (Hunt-McAllister, 1992) OGB Pale greyed yellow-orange standards. Slightly darker ground of falls shows in a clear 3/8" rim around a solid overlay of red-orange. Arrow-shaped signal spot formed of brownish-black stripes. (Sojourn x Almost) X Welcome Reward. A fully fertile ½-bred that's given me many impressive offspring, mostly in shades of yellow and reddish-brown – for example, #88-1-8, which is shown in the 1991 ASI Yearbook – but also a burgundy-on-ivory-and-lilac seedling whose flower closely resembles those of the tetraploid ¾-breds, but whose plant is like those of the ½-breds. A carrier for pink. I was searching for a name for this one when I read an article about the annual Red Earth festival held in Oklahoma City. Aha! A perfect fit because the color of the falls is very close to that of the red clay of Oklahoma.
