>  Dresden Gold (D. Foster, '74) AB. Very intense yellow with a prominent
chocolate brown signal; large globular flowers - that is my memory - it's
been quite a while since I had this one.. This was one of the first ABs I
grew, and I left it in place too long. It's history (for Sharon
McAllister's benefit) was
        1st year - no bloom
            2nd year - no bloom
            3rd year - 7 stalks
            4th year - 25 stalks
            5th year - 3 stalks
            6th year - rot

I found DRESDEN GOLD to be one of the more "gardenable" of its time. 
Reportedly responded well to the annual-division ritual of the west coast
as well as to the dig-after-spectacular-bloom rule of the heartland.  

It's one of a group I found particularly interesting in my early days of
hybridizing, descended from  KALIFA BALTIS through maternal lines.  Which
put KB on the top of my "want list" for many years.
