Hi Chuck,

 

I have no trouble believing that the yellow pigment is still present, but couldnât yellow + blue-violet (âhorticultural blueâ) give just about any color in the iris spectrum, depending how strong each pigment was and the exact hue of each?

The bright yellow of Billionaire is there with the blue of delpninidin.
The two combined gives you purple.

To check this out for yourself, put a petal of this seedling into
boiling hot water. the anthocyanin delphinidin is water soluble. The
yellow isn't. so after the anthocyanin has dissolved, you will see the
yellow. May need a couple of hot water treatments to get all the
anthocyanin disolved.

Just opened, parentage is Billionaire x Now see This. strange how the
bright yellow color of Billionaire has become totally recessive
