When you have yellow with tangerine beard you have the alternative yellow you
need for orange, with  the  recessive removal of the lycopene pigment from.
Or without the alternative yellow,. you would have white with tangerine
beard.

As the alternative yellow is a recessive, and the removal of lycopen efrom
petals is also a recessive, you could loose both  in a cross, unless other
parent is chosen carefully. Crossing back to HOM soumnds alike a promising
route. Crossing back to a pink  won't necessarily help unless it is a carrier
of the recessive alternative yellow.

The cross of HOM to a pink  meat t6hat that pink carried this gene. And both
carried  the recessive for  reducing lycopene from petals.

Would be intersting to  have a good number of children from the HOM X pink, to
see what range of colours you had.

Are you sure it is a t beard and not an intense yellow?  Tried alcohol
extraction on beard?

Chuck, have you thought any more about expression of orange?  Rather, have you
changed your thinking about it any?

When I started seeing those deep gold with t beards in seedlings from HoM X
pinks & some of our discussions earlier, I was thinking that meant this was
going to get me to orange.

I just dug around in the archives to re-read what you had said previously, and
it sounds like in order to be getting those deep gold w t beards from HoM X
pinks, that HoM's yellow must be what you called alternate yellow.

 From what you said earlier, I should be able to get orange by crossing one of
these with pink, not necessary to use orange?
