WAR DRUMS (McAllister, 1996) OGB Think of a moonless night on the prairie, smoky campfires, and the foreboding sound of war drums beating in the distance. Standards are a smoky-grey with a faint touch of violet and a few faint yellow veins. Style arms are an intense flame-yellow, brushed with reddish-violet along the midribs and the stylecrests have reddish-violet "eyelashes". In contrast, the falls are deep reddish-black with a dense near-black beard. A fully fertile ½-bred from Deborah's Song X Turkish Tangent, which I'm using for sun-fast reds and reddish-blacks.
