George's Latest and Greatest UF


As I indicated a while back, George Rasmussen began to develop unusual forms a few years ago. While KING GEORGE and TIGER SWIRL occasionally display some unusual form traits, they are basically large open forms. KING'S GOLDEN TREASURE, his first UF, came along in '04 and was a smash success. Last year George introduced KING'S SPECTRUM, a true unusual form, and a spectacular one at that. Sitting on 36 inch scapes are 9 inch blooms that are gold with a red chevron and green throat. It's a semi evergreen Tet and can be described as a crispate/cascade unusual form. Will there be more wondrous things in the future?
