Available data on blue stragglers and their parent clusters is reviewed, and it is argued that some of the very red Horizontal Branch (HB) stars always present in the CMDs of Galactic globular clusters containing blue stragglers are in fact blue straggler progeny. Hence, the red HB extreme could be controlled by environment-induced effects via the complex phenomena related to blue straggler formation and dynamical and intrinsic evolution. A grouping of clusters is made on the basis of their detected blue straggler population and HB morphology.
