Thank you for answering my question! I was puzzling over how he got the red central blotch w/o Hulthemia genetics and I could not figure out where it came from in the Halo series. Thanks again for clearing that up!

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help clear that up for you. Mr. Moore theorized that the mauve petal base of Anytime was an adulterated red. He bred Anytime with Angel Face to intensify and enlarge the mauve base then began crossing with others to reduce the "blue", intensify the red and fix that trait as more likely to be gained through breeding. That required a bit of self crossing, and it worked! The most "Hulthemia-like" was Halo Sunrise which contains the cross of Anytime X Angel Face three times with two doses of Gold Badge to pick up the yellow.
