Re: Re:HYB: t factor

While we're on the subject of the tangerine factor . . .

How many seedlings would I have to produce, theoretically, to pull the
tangerine beard back out of some of my children?  I'm trying to create
tangerine bearded rebloomers for my zone.

I've many seedlings that are crosses between my rebloomers and things
like CHINESE NEW YEAR, DECEDANCE, DRINKS AT SUNSET, etc..  Many
children and grandchildren from ROMANTIC EVENING.  In most cases, the
seedlings do not have red beards.

How many generations will it take?

A good experiment to do.B B 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.B B Chuck ChapmanB B Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2009 11:00:29 -0400B From: Linda Mann <lmann@lock-net.com>B Subject: [iris] HYB: t factorB B Can an iris have four doses of tangerine factor and <not> have anyB red/pink in the beard?B B For example, in the blue bearded pinks, is the re red pigment in theB beard that is hidden by blue pigment?
