Gayla,
     Here are the descriptions that I could find for you.  The others are
more recent than my 1989 Checklist.  There is a Zebra listed in the 1939
Checklist, but I am not sure it is the same flower.  
   
> NEW DAWNING
> NIGHT OWL  TB 38"  Standards rich dark violet-blue-black.  Falls same
with velvety texture.  Same color for beards.  Schreiner's, 1970.

> MARRIAGE VOWS  TB 38"  Standards light blue-pink.  Falls bluish white,
lightly picoteed pink band. Tagerine Beard.  Ghio, 1987.

haft appearing to intensify same prime color.  Yellow beard.  Schreiner's,
1972.
