Re: HYB: oldies-sidebar

Linda, 

I like the tone of yellow in your seedling... it's a lot like my
sunny yellow seedling.

I'm a bit confused.  When I look at your seedlings
pedigree I see; 
yellow seedling: White named cultivar X pink seedling: (pink
named cultivar x pink over lavender bitone named cultivar)  

This seems very
odd to me, but it is at least related to the question I was asking the other
day about color genetics.

Is there anyone out there who can run through the
basic color genetics at play in this pedigree?  I would assume Immortality is
iiii for I inhibitor, and that the fall color on Celebration Song is affected
by I inhibitor at some level.  Are there any guesses how a yellow seedling
resulted from a pedigree that appears to be weighted for pink?

Christian

IMMORTALITY X pink nonrebloom sdlng: (PINK FORMAL x
CELEBRATION SONG)

Ok, so it's a boring yellow, blooms so late that I had to
pick the bud & 
bring it indoors to avoid being frozen (27oF for at least 4
hrs), looks 
really plain next to Lowell's cover girl ;-), but I like it. 
Maiden 
bloom, nice chunky (thick, erect) stalk.
