Hi, guys,
Here's a question for those of you with way more experience in pollen-
daubing and book-larnin' about this fascinating hybridizing game:
Is it reasonable to think that crossing a plicata with a self, blend,
bi, whatever, might produce a nonplic with the plic's beard?
My understanding is that plicata-ness is recessive. In fact, even
the tangerine factor is supposed to be recessive. But in my quest
for pinks with more pastel beards, would crossing a pink with a
tangerine beard with a pink-grounded plic with rose beard, for
example, give any remote chance of the rose beard predominating in
the nonplic progeny? Or crossing back to pinks the next generation?
Thanks for any and all input on the subject.
