Re: HIST:HYB: Hall pink line and Dauntless

I had wondered this as well - if something like DAUNTLESS, with what
looks to me like both blue and pink pigments that combine to produce
burgundy fall color, were crossed with a pink self, if that could knock
out the blue (at least knock out expression of blue) leaving a pink self
that was umbrata "carrier".

Or would the umbrata layer become white or a different shade of pink
(possibly different pigment concentration, whatever was left after
removing blue), resulting in something that has the same appearance as a
band of pink around the rim of a white or different shade of pink fall,
when it is actually a pink ground with a layer of white/different pink
on the surface in the middle of the fall?

More questions (oh joy) ...

I may know the answer to some of my own questions when those PINK FORMAL
X FOREIGN KNIGHT seedlings bloom.  There are 9 healthy survivors; not a
big sample, but theoretically enough to see different patterns, assuming
no possible combinations are linked with poor seed development,
germination, or health.
