Alien Force

Alien Force

(Gossard, James) 2010 introduction

((Sword Dancer x Shinto Etching ) x Wandering Wings )) x Tetra Loch Ness Monster

TET 40" Midseason Dormant emo fr 8.5" 3-4 way branching 18-22 buds. Fertile both ways.

Alien Force has red bicolor flowers with a creme toothy edge and green throat. The sepals are much more creme, more creamy pink in color. As you can see it is fantastic in a clump. It has been a tremendous parent. Iam not certain why, but it stamps the kids with great branching and bud count. I have never seen a parent so dominate for this trait and even better yet, almost all the kids are edged. I bloomed a tetra Morphin Time (Gossard 2005 intro) this year and was able to make seed on Alien Force kids, boy I can not wait to see them. It is the first kid I am aware of from Tetra Loch Ness Monster, my conversion. Alien Force is a break through in dormant edge breeding. It sets some pods, but pollen is very powerful.......$150

Pollen and pod parents pedigree, from AHS database.

As you can see, bicolor came from Sword Dancer and Shinto Etching.

Edge from all 4 parents.
