 As normal yellow is dominant, and  a pink is a yellow when not with four t
genes, yellow babies are to be expected. The yellows with tangerine beard are
the ones with alternative yellow. Some of the others may be, but can't tell
from looking at them.

So if Renown crossed with something that isn't yellow  based, gives yellow,
than that would be the recessive alternative yellow. Otherwise , can't tell.

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

There haven't been enough of them to get a ratio, but seeing them often enough
that I wonder if HoM might have tt.  First time I saw tangerine beard was in
cross with CELEBRATION SONG.  There were only three seedlings.  I had no idea
HoM had any t, so that was a bit of luck that caught my attention.

Also one tangerine beard showed up in RENOWN X HoM.  That was an even bigger
surprise.  Lots of survivors from that cross.  maybe 1/36?  All from that
cross have been white so far, but RENOWN does easily give yellow seedlings.
More germinated this winter and last.

Going on memory (i.e., take w grain of salt), most HoM X pink have been deep
yellow, a few closer to HoM color, a few w tangerine beard.  NO whites.  Even
from HoM X TREASURED.

The latter is the only HoM X pink that did not give a tangerine beard, but
there were few survivors.  I think only 4 from the cross. TREASURED gives such
wonderful form, I wish I could keep it alive long enough to repeat the cross,
see if I can get a fertile tangerine bearded baby.

Anybody volunteer to make some more seeds for me to grow here in the vale?
;-)

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