Re: TB: SOLAR FIRE

GOLDEN PANTHER grows and blooms here just as well as 
THORNBIRD and is a wonderful cross.  GP was in contention for 
the Cook Cup in Memphis, slightly behind STARRING.  I divided a 
two year clump of it last Sept. and took about ten surplus rhizomes 
to our sale.  I am anxious to see how SF will perform here even 
though I am not overly fond of Space Agers.
