Re:HYB: t factor

A good experiment to do.
But, every blue bearded pink I've looked at has tangerine at base of beard, deep in throat. A lot of pinks with white beard also have the tangerine only show in base of beard, so many of the pinks with blue beards proably have the blue on a pale white section of beard. Blue plus pink would likely produce a bronzy beard.

Subject: [iris] HYB: t factor

Can an iris have four doses of tangerine factor and <not> have any
red/pink in the beard?

For example, in the blue bearded pinks, is there red pigment in the
beard that is hidden by blue pigment?  Or can there be four doses of
tangerine factor but no lycopene in the beard?

In other words, soaked in hot water to remove water soluble pigment, is
there always some lycopene visible?

I feel like I ought to know this already, that it's already been
discussed - apologies for going over it again.
