Aliens in the Garden, what can I say. The name says it all. First of its kind in tetraploid UFO's. It is my best broken pattern breeder.  It stamps the patterns on its kids. The broken loss of color is a dominant trait, easily passed on to the kids. And best of all, almost all the kids are dormant. See the children below.  Flowers are garnet red with a green throat. Both sepals and petals are patterned. Flowers are UFO crispate and cascade. And best of all it is a Dormant.......$150
