    Hybridizer's notes: Lonesome Soldier is out of Ashwood Still Night X Unknown. If ever there was a plant for the hybridizer, Lonesome Soldier is that plant. It is a warm claret red recurved open form, having bronze undertones, with a subtle darker eye, over a green tinged yellow throat that extends out to the mid-rib, encased in a trace of a yellow picotee edge. This plant has fabulous habit & foliage, surpassing anything else I grow. Easy pod setter. Pollen fertile.
