GENE'S LITTLE SECRET (Hunt, 1981) OB Lillibright X I. susiana. Yellow-gold standards, greyed-yellow falls rimmed in yellow-gold with intense red-brown flush and yellow gold markings around a yellow-orange beard.  Extremely fertile both ways, this is the progenitor of a new line of relatively fertile arilbredmedians. Crossed with halfbreds, it produces offspring that are typically 15 to 18" tall, with flowers in a wide range of patterns and colors that bloom somewhat earlier than most arilbreds. Many show some fertility, but none have proven to be as fertile as Gene's Little Secret itself. Crossing it with medians produced a number of ¼-breds, none of which were worth saving. Crossing it with other, supposedly infertile, arilmedians and arilbredmedians has produced a surprising number of seedlings. Crossing it with relatively fertile triploids has produced more seedlings than expected. I'd recommend this highly for beginners interested in producing arilbredmedians but, unfortunately, our stock was contaminated by a lookalike half-sib and we will not be listing it again until we are confident that our stock is true. "Gene's" identifies the hybridizer. "Little" refers to its size and "Secret" to the fact that at the time of registration its pedigree seemed to have been known only to Gene.
