  Walter , what were you wondering about?

I'm not sure I really understand everything folks like Chuck Chapman and
Neil Mogensen have posted here about expression of pink and yellow, but
this one seems pretty straighforward - BLACK HILLS GOLD and ORANGE
SLICES have both pink and yellow pigments. Blue from CLASSIC EDITION
(and the other two, for that matter) is not expressed.

expression relating to yellow and pink.
Someone needs to study that in more depth.

  I was wondering how the gene(s) for pink aren't getting all the carrotine to stop at the lycopene stage.  
  Also, I read that the chloroplasts, to do photosynthese, require the yellow form of the pigment.  So is there a seperate gene(s) for the pigment in the flower vs. in the leaves?  Or does the gene(s) that stop the pigment at the pink stage only function in the flowers, not in the leaves?
  What are the results of pink-yellow blends crossed with the purest pinks?
  The complexity of what is going on here blows me away.
