On December 30, 1972, as recorded on a small piece of note paper (KF I / B / 2 / zz) Kay retrieved 32 plants of her various crosses from Stewart's, including six plants of this hybrid, as well as eight of Lc. Prism Palette, six of Lc. Mariner × Lc. Blue Boy, six of Lc. Elinor × Slc. Anzac, and six of Lc. Jericho × Lc. Blue Boy, with a subscription at the bottom of this scrap of paper, "My Crosses / Plants rec'd. — Kay."
