Re: HYB: question - pigment (from photos)

After soaking in hot alcohol and blotting it dry, the beards on the
HARVEST OF MEMORIES X CELEBRATION SONG aren't pink, they are tangerine
red!  Same color as fresh beards on JERSEY BOUNCE (stalk from show, not
grown here, brought home for pollen).

Stronger color in the throat than at the end, but nothing "pink" about
it.  There was apparently so much strong yellow pigment, it hid how red
it was.  But I could still tell it was a different color than all the
other HoM seedlings.

So, Chuck, what do I conclude from this?  That HoM has at least one dose
of t?

Do I need to make room for this ugly thing, or is this just useful
information (i.e., that HoM <can> occasionally have tttt seedlings)?
