'Debby Reardon' is a plant of that pattern. I had not heard it was a catagory, but its not official. I think plicata is the most prevalent here, there are just so many kinds.

Thanks Lucy. I thought it odd under the "flower patterns" that there was something so specifically one color combo.

Remember the Emma Cook pattern was named for one of the first flowers with the rim around the falls. Paul Cook worked for years to get it.

Then why is it called the Emma Cook and not the Paul Cook?
