Re: HYB:Plicata Patterns

Walter, what would Tanzanian Tangerine be?  It has red orange color in both standards and falls with even dark wine dotting all over the falls.

  These are a few observations regarding the plicata pattern.  Keith 
  Keppel needs to be answering this question as I am no expert.

  Standard pattern - stitching around standards and falls on a white 
  ground as in SWERTII (1612) and MADAME CHEREAU (1844). SWERTII is the 
  curly one and MC is tailored.  The color may expand somewhat in 
  STEPPING OUT and RARE TREAT.  It may also narrow as in NEW TOMORROW
  or ASCII ART, with just a hint of peppering .

  Fancy pattern - all over markings on a darker ground as in JOSEPH'S 
  MANTLE or the updated TEST PATTERN.  All over fall pattern of 
  violet/purple on white ground as in PURPLE PEPPER.  The falls in 
  JITTERBUG.

  Variegata or bi-color fancy - CARAMBA or JITTERBUG.  Yellow standards 
  with brownish/reddish markings on cream or yellow ground.  BROADWAY 
  has a whitish ground.  So does OFF BROADWAY.

  Bi-color standard - Bluish markings on standards and purplish 
  markings on falls with white grounds as in ON EDGE or JIGSAW.  Might
  also be called bi-color banded or neglecta.

  Amoena plicata - white standards with no markings and falls with 
  coloring narrow or wide.  ETCHED AMOENA or SCRIMSHAW.

  Washed - patterning appears to be brushed on as in many Keppel things
  including CASBAH.  WALTZ ACROSS TEXAS and GARNET ETCHING
  have a brushing of stipples extending from the hafts with a random 
  scattering of dotting elsewhere.  CASBAH

  Banded - a solid banding of color appears on light or darker ground 
  with heavy concentration of dots or random dotting as in STAR SURGE 
  or STEPPING OUT, GOING MY WAY.

  Striped/veined - Some of these may not be plicatas at all.  I 
  question CIRCUS STRIPES (out of a zonal plus seedling) but agree on 
  AUTUMN CIRCUS and DOUBLE SHOT.

  Reverse - heavier dotting on standards than on falls.  TOP STITCH. 
  (more examples needed).

  SURRENDER - just a scattering of dots from the hafts on a yellow 
  ground fading to white at the bottom with just a few dots or none at 
  all.  This is a one cultivar class as far as I know.

  Combinations - Keith Keppel has mxed them up - fancy, washed, bi-
  colors.

  What have I left out?
