![]() HEAVENLY HIDDEN TREASURES (James Gossard 2005)
(Red Fascination) x (Tetra Rainbow Spangles) Tet 8” Dormant 33” M Unusual form cascade.
There defiantly are hidden treasures in this flower. Red Fascination is the cross of (Chicago Apache x Wandering Wings) x (Red Hurricane) Red Hurricane is a cross of TETRA HOLLY DANCER x TETRA MIGHTY HIGHTY TIGHTY. Somehow all the interesting edge genes were pulled to the surface of this cross. The striking edge and watermark is from the TETRA MIGHTY HIGHTY TIGHTY genes. The power of induced parents at the second and third generation is apparent. This is why Hybridizers such as myself, Benz and Trimmer utilize conversions. Thus Hidden Treasures has four conversions in it, tetra Holly Dancer, tetra Mighty Highty Tighty, tetra Rainbow spangles, and since Westward Wind is a Velvet Widow kid, tetra Buddha. Enough rambling on, Hidden Treasures is an 8 inch maroon red with a lighter mauve watermark and white edge on both petals and sepals. Plants have deep blue green foliage, resistant to both spring sickness and leaf streak. Flowers have 3 way branching with 15 bud count. Fertile both ways. $125
