From the Rainbow Acres website:

BOLD VISION (Kerr 2000) 29" Early through late. (Citoyen X Lena Baker sib) The latest of our line of zonal variagatas. Bold Vision has the darkest red band of the line. The one and a quarter inch fall band surrounds dark yellow center with a startling white area just under the gold beards. The standards are of darkest yellow. Good bud count.
