Re: TB Photo: Arizona Redhead - Betty

I bought this one and Round Tuit with thoughts of adding color and diversity to one of the red on yellow lines.  Arizona Redhead is interesting.  Thanks!
With "Burgundy Brown" in it's background I can imagine that some mighty vigorous plicatas can come about when using this one

Betty,
 
Here is the description and parentage:
S. sandy red; style arms sandy red, edged golden red; F. ruby red, hafts heavily veined, sand red center stripe, lower portion of F. red black; beards rusty orange; ruffled. 89004: (Chief Redskin x 85015: (Mirror Mirror x Burgundy Brown)) X Chief Redskin.
 
Also note: it grows to 43 inches tall!! 
 
You know I'm surprised that with that parentage it turned out as red as it did.  With "Burgundy Brown" in it's background I can imagine that some mighty vigorous plicatas can come about when using this one.  I'm hoping it survived for you. :-)

Margie,

It's good to see a picture of this one.  Not quite what I expected.  It looks like a self x plicata mix. I'd bought it for the Hamner background and for possible inclusion in one of my red plicata lines.  It was in a new bed when the freeze/drought hit and I'm not sure of it's current condition.

This photo is of ARIZONA REDHEAD, a Don Shepard 1998 introduction.  This photo was also taken in Phoenix. This struck me as a pretty nice red.
