Mohric Butterfly
(McAllister, 1998)
Pale blue-violet standards have faint blue-violet veining. Greenish-buff falls are veined burgundy to rust, with an area of intense burgundy dotting around the golden-brown beard.
This recent introduction, from Mohric Art X Boaz, is one of those still-rare quarterbreds that exhibit more aril characteristics than do more conventional ones. To the casual observer, it may even be mistaken for a halfbred - to the hybridizer, however, it clearly does not breed like one. It's the end result of a series of crosses between relatively infertile 1/4-breds and conventional 1/2-breds, a type of cross is one of the most interesting in the arilbred world, because it can produce fully fertile halfbreds or relatively infertile quarterbreds.
I coined the name to depict both the much-love pattern of Butterfly Wings and the Mohr family.
For the show aficionado, its ASI code is OGB-.
