Re: HYB:Anthocyanin-Controled crosses.

Wow Chuck, 
that is a really nice run down... clear, concise, and answers the
question I thought I asked.
Just one little fuzzy-ness.  You said "blues" are
not AVI but then said Dusky Challenger is likely AVI.  I expected DC would be
(even if it's a guess) AVI, but it sounds like you're saying DC isn't blue-
isn't blue as in isn't from a long line of Schreiner's blues.  Am I missing
something? I remember someone saying roughly, "there is no true blue in iris,
if you really look even the bluest blues are really quite indigo." Is that
what you mean?
Now I feel like I should get out RHS color key and discuss what
counts as a "pastel" yellow.  Can't as I don't have RHS color whozits... but
the temptation is there.
Your general guidelines seem to be exactly what I
need to start in the "right" direction to test my theories... but I've already
culled a seedling I should have kept.

HYB:Anthocyanin-Controled crosses.

I havn't checked and don't think anyone
else has checked.

The telling factor would be intensity of  the anthocyanin.
General guidelines, (best guess)

blues are not AVI
Dusky challanger should be
AVI as should indigo Princess and Swazi 
Princess

Regular purple is regular
anthocyanin with yellow ground. Dark/near 
black purple  sould be AVI

The
pastel blue with dark blue beards, eg Codicil, Blackbeard, are 
likely an AVI
plant with "I" factor

White is regular anthocyanin with one dosage of "I"
Generally  cartenoid is dominant over non cartenoid.

There are a lot of
variations on colour of yellow but there is no  
documentation of controling
factors.

Water soluble yellows are present, but mostly they are in smaller
Iris  
like MDB and SDB They are more pastel in colour

Chuck, (or anyone else for that matter)

These are the "blues" I already grow;
do you know the anthocyanin/ AVI 
dosages
for any of them?
Dusky Challenger
Scorpio
Indigo Princess
Swazi Princess
Country Sky
Cycles
Dresden Dancer
Sky
Road
Space Viking
Six Pack
Unfurled Flag



Is it safe to assume that any TB
white is a blue with 4 dosages of I?  
Is
there some formula/ or home
chemestry project for spotting the ones 
that are
not? I should look in the
archives I know some experiments have been
mentioned... but it seems the
mention has always lacked the how-to.  
Other
than that it seems like I have a
workable grasp on the blue part of the
project.

Is yellow pigment (carotenin,
right?) expressed differently at different
dosages? Is it dominant?  I have it
in my head that there's some kind of
parent child relationship between the
color breaks for yellow and pink 
in
irises... can't remember which way it
went.

gosh, we almost need to get John to mke a new code just for color
genetics
posts.....whoops... how long has this one had no code?
