Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Caballero's long, curling petals are gold and an intriguing rusty brown (yes, brown!) that may remind you of saddle-leather and sandstone buttes - which is probably just what Stout had in mind when he named it. Caballeros were the noble "gentlemen-cowboys" of popular movies such as The Bold Caballero of 1936 with its dashing hero, Zorro.
