Pewter standards are touched with brass along the midrib. Brass falls have a heavy wash of orange rust, a burnt-orange-to-black signal, and bushy orange beard. Strong enough substance to support its globular form.

From Persian Pansy X Arab Dusk, it's a somewhat reluctant pod parent, but a very enthusiastic pollen parent  and one of the best breeders I've produced.  Pictures of just a few of its most impressive offspring have been posted in the Photo Gallery.

Crossed with half-breds, it transmits its beautiful globular form to its offspring. Some of them, in turn, have proven to be fully fertile when crossed back to halfbreds. The mixed-up-genes seem to combine favorably with a variety of partners – I have offspring in almost every color variation. I've also used it with TBs to produce what are presumed to be quarterbreds, but none of those seedlings have been as impressive as the ones it has produced when paired with halfbreds. Not yet tried with the tetraploid arils – I've been having too much fun using it with ¼-breds and ½-breds.Originally one of Gus' Seligmann's garden names, which he gave a peach ½-bred that both of us had quickly fallen in love with. Although it was registered, the stock was inadvertently destroyed before it could be introduced. I like the name so much, though, that I transferred it to a very different, but even more special, seedling that Gus had dubbed "The Golden Bull". 

For show aficionados, its ASI code is OGB+.
