My advice on breeding pinks was this:  It takes to pinks to produce  pink.  
From personal experience, I've learned that pink and white produce  yellow and 
white with some bitones (in this case).  (Paradise X  Immortality) Should have 
kept a couple.  Very tall.  
 
If I cross any color x pink, I will not get pink back. 
 
If I cross two 1/2 pink seedlings, how many pinks could I expect to get in  
the resulting seedlings?
 
Or 1/2 pink crossed to a pink?  
 
Anyone have experience crossing pink to purple/black/brown/etc.?  Are  there 
any colors that will produce a higher percentage of pink seedlings when  
crossed back?  
 
I have pink/red seedlings that were quite interesting.  Gave lilac  purple 
and a golden copper.  Pink seedling had lots of lace and I got lace  on the 
seedlings I saw bloom.  
 
Anyone?
