REDWING'S BRAVE (McAllister, 1988) OGB Smooth violet standards, reddish purple falls. Deep purple-black lines in signal area. Heart Stealer X Mary of Magdala. I've used it for a range of "pinkish" varieties, as well reddish-violets. Not as sunfast as Mary of Magdala or Deborah's Song, but produces nice, more sunfast seedlings when paired with varieties like these. A fully fertile halfbred that I recommend to beginners. Try it with Merriglow. Someone had suggested the name "Redwing" for this one, but that name had already been used and as I thought it needed a more masculine name it evolved from "Redwing" into "Redwing's Brave".
