As the "I" inhibitor of anthocyanin is dominant, then half of seedlings
will have anthocyanin = 50%. As both parents have yellow (lycopene is a
yellow when not ttt, so 100% will be yellow based. Ae is dominant so
50 % of seedlings will have Ae. So 1.0 X 0.5 X 0.5 = 0.25 or 25 percent,
or 1 out of four. this is assuming only one dosage of Ae in Romantic
Evening and one dosage of I in Midsummer's Eve. This would work with
Immortality, but not with Midsummer Eve. This is because of tangerine
factor in both Midsummer Eve and Romantic Evening.
The kicker is
that the yellow that is base of black in Romantic
Evening is alternative
yellow.
As both Midsummer Eve and Romantic Evening are tttt, all
seedlings from
this cross should have tangerine beards. As none of the
C014 seedlings
shown have tangerine beard, I suspect an error has crept in
somewhere.
The yellow that is a base of the black with tangerine beards
is the
alternative yellow , which is recessive. So this cross of
Midsummer's
Eve X Romantic evening shoudn't produce black , unless
Midsummer Eve
carries the alternative yellow. Not the same problem with
Immortality,
as Immortality seems to carry tt, we now have to multiply by
.5 again
to give 1 out of 8 seedlings. The black ones would have yellow
beard.
The one's inheriting tttt & Ae and not having "I" would
be a
rich
burgundy. Assuming Immortality does not have genetics for alternative
yellow

Chuck, what are the odds of the genetics
lining up to produce C014A?
Theoretically, how many seed would one have
to produce to get black from
such a cross?

Colour depends on genetics. These are switches,
producing one pigment or
another.
Black is a combination of
yellow (beta-carotene), anthocyanin
delphinidin (blue) and
anthocyanin enhancement.
Midsummer's Eve provides yellow via pink
whiuch is aborted
beta-carotene. Romantic Evening provides the yellow,
plus delphinidin
plus anthocyanin enhancement. Thus the colour. You
could get same
colour crossing Immortality to Romantic
Evening.

<<too old>>
Loic, my surprise was
due to the color, rather than form. I'm a visual
person. It was an
automatic (but wrong) response.
I saw a beautifully saturated black
seedling and when I looked at the
parents my brain didn't go past
"Midsummer" and immediately jumped to
the wrong one. It's a little
glitch my brain has always20had, it tries
to
take
shortcuts.
Still, I'm shocked that MIDSUMMER'S EVE, as a pod parent,
would produce
a black seedling. It has such a pinkish/white ancestry. I
would expect
something more like what you got from the pink X LIAISON
crosses. Just
more proof that anything is possible?
Always
something to learn.

C14A is a miracle, and the texture is
amazing. I even checked my paper
map of the bed, just in case a label
would have disappeared, but no.
Guess it to
ok from Enchanted World
instead of Immortality.
Still, when you see the shape of
B184= James Bond X English Cottage
attached), it is also a
surprise!
I had not planted the seeds from English
Cottage when i made the crosses
thinking EC was too old, i planted
them 1 year later, when i=2
0decided i
would go for rebloomers
and these crosses would be useful.
I'm glad i did!
And i surely
will go on using Immortality and it's father
EC!

Again,
my mistake. I thought it was Midsummer Night's Dream which is an
IB. My
misread.=2
0My mind just skipped right over the possibility
of
C014A being from Midsummer's Eve! Not something I'd expect from
an
Immortality grandchild. The other one, C014B, I can see being from
that
cross.

Betty, no harm
done!
Midsummer's Eve is a BB, so crossed with Romantic
Evening, even if both
parents give smaller flowers, the
babies are TBs indead.
In order to improve bud count on
the dark one, i pollinated it with
Tender Kiss, that has a lot of
Aphilla and red beards.
the ugly one with 10 buds was
also pollinated with Tender Kiss.
I will
cross the best one from each cross, in 3 years,
so
in 6 years i might finally have a fabulous dark purple with
red
beards BB rebloomer, with low branching and a multitude of
smaller
flowers called K018 = (A014A: Midsummer's Eve x
Romantic Evening) x
Tender Kiss) X (A014B: Midsummer's Eve
xRomantic Evening) x Tender Kiss)

Loic, I
wasn't very clear with this comment. I do not need the seed
personally.
You said it was a pity that the one you liked the best, the
lovely
black one, was the one with the low bud count. I was simply
suggesting
a way you might get the good bud count and the black color
from a
sibling cross. The cross was a IB x TB so I wasn't aware the
seedlings
were both TB size.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

hello again
Betty
it's20getting a bit late for crosses now ,
especially for TBXTB crosses,
but I'll try20and send you the seeds if
ever sth happens!
If not, i can try next spring, you are right, the
best of both would be
grand!

look at C387A, (that i will

beauty on the first
seedling from a cross? This is what i call
LUCKY!

Wow! If they're both blooming, try crossing C014A onto
C014B? Maybe
you'll get the best of both worlds? Just a
suggestion.

Maiden bloom now:
C014A has
only 3 flowers,
C014B has 10!
Wish it were the

C014A
the flower is stunning, so unexpected colour, but
only 3 flowers on
maiden bloom.
One sib should open in a couple
days, wit
h a better bud count. Will add
the picture
then.
