To get orange, need four sets of alternate yellow plus four genes of
tangerine. And not have four sets of the genes that remove lycopene from
petals.

So crossing an alternate yellow with  a pink will only work if pink carries at
least two alternate yellow genes.

To summarize/simplify, theoretically,

if it's deep gold with tangerine beards (as demonstrated by alcohol soak),
cross with pink to get orange..

if it's pink (with t beards, of course), cross with alternate yellow to get
orange.

& keep fingers crossed that all the other genetic paraphernalia that it needs
to express orange is lined up just right.

Right?

Thanks for asking the question, Paul and many thanks again, Chuck for trying
to sort this stuff out and sharing with us.

I kept getting turned around and putting alternate yellow (HoM) on the deep
gold t bearded seedling (Golden Immortal X Doctor Alan) today.  As soon as I
did it this AM, I realized that was <not> what I meant to do.  Then turned
around and did it again tonight.

drat.
