valleylynn said:Mark, do you have a written description of 'Strider' in one of those old catalogs?


I have a lot of old catalogs, would take a while to go through them all, and not all of my catalogs were preserved. From Red's Rhodies & Alpine Gardens catalog in 1985 (6 years after Betty Bronow's registration of 'Strider'), I was living in the Seattle area at the time, 'Strider' is described as "long strap like shiny blood-red leaves with a fine white edge of hairs. Large. (B. Bronow)".

In the 1986 catalog the following year, the description of 'Strider' added the detail "Open rosette that becomes quite large".
