But that's a lot more pink than mine. Mine tilted toward the orange and instead of purple the lines were sort of a raspberry red. Your combo works a lot better for me. But I can see why a pink from the blue side would work really well. With the purple lines you're showing, anyway. I liked how the lines stopped and left the rim on that seedling in the photo. No problem with the pattern. Thanks for posting this. I can look forward to the day when someone produces one of those 'can't live without' numbers.

I got the pattern in several seedlings, but only fair form (see attached). I would like to see the violet lines on a true pink from the 'blue' side...

Either color is fine, but not together. But I didn't expect any visual _expression_ of the pattern and I think both those results derive from the pattern so I think you are probably correct about it's being at least partially dominant.
