The Evolution of OTF new hybrid(mix parentage) are varieties of such is Cross Back Splendor (crossBreed between Cross Back/Super Red) and Premium RTG(crossBreed between Cross Back/RTG), Supreme RTG(crossBreed between Cross Back/Premium RTG), R.T.G Splendour(RTG crossBreed between Cross Back Splendor)
