Pyro AAS

[Ko 08110-1A] (Fire Frenzy x open)

My first thought when I saw this little glad in the trials was, “This Glad’s on fire!” Not only hot, but a swirling hot orange, with yellow in varying amounts near the petal tips, and red darts on 5 petals. Florets 3 ¼ inches, triangular, ruffled, in zigzag placement. 20 total buds, 7 open and 4 in color, 24 inch heads, and 52 inch field height.

The Butler Did It

$3.50

(Meyer 2015) 437 E

[JM 8-08] (open x open)

“The Butler Did It,” using this charming deep salmon with a large cream center, reminiscent of a bulls-eye! The deeper reddish salmon flecks displaying in the salmon color help to mystify the event. 5 inch round plain florets, 22 total buds, 8 open, 6 in color, informal placement, with 26 inch heads, 54 inch field height. It’s definitely the floret shape and bulls-eye effect that make this glad. A Carl Fischer Award winning design was created by our friend Jim Butler at a MN State Glad Show, New Ulm. Mystery solved.
