HYB: Zurbrigg variety

Hi Mr. Zurbrigg,	
	I was out in the garden today weeding and cleaning up dead leaves around my 
clump of Quivering Flame. Since I have been seeing your name often on the list 
I thought I should go straight to the source to get some answers. I am 
probably opening a can of worms doing this but I have had questions for 
several years regarding this variety. 
	First question: What do you call those strange petaloid things on it's 
standards and where did they come from?
	Second question: Did you pursue breeding with Quivering Flame to get more of 
these type novelties? Are they worth pursuing? Are there others I should know 
about?	
	Third Question: In the '59 R & I, there is no mention of its extra petal 
parts in the description. Were you not able to register novelties then?

	Sigh.....Now I feel so much better that I have asked those nagging questions.
