RE: HYB:  TB:  Pink Seedlings

Is that why a true sugar pink, leaning neither to peach nor to lilac, is so 
hard to find?

Another question: most pink TB beards are described as orange or tangerine. 
What about the pink beards on some non-pink SDBs? Is there any way to 
produce a self pink with pink beard?
