Re: HYB: probabilities- orange

Linda, just cross the seedling to an orange--or back-cross to the
orange-apricot parent if it has all the qualities you want.  This will
include the "I" non-blue inhibitor, as it is already in the orange or your
seedling (unless it is one of the rather rare recessive reduced anthocyanin
types).  The orange-apricot or an orange parent will supply all the major
factors you are after, and a percentage, although rather small, *will* have
the makeup you are after.

You could self the seedling, but you won't get a clear orange self.  The
seedling lacks the "I" factor.
