Re: 1370 Rose--why are the offspring orange?
Matthew,
Thanks, but I'm not much of a genetics major. I do like the red/orange
though!
My thoughts?
It is true that the 1370, in theory, should only throw Orange about 1 in 4
times...but the 845 Bobier does have a 567.5 Mombert(red orange!) ....plus the
810 McInnis from '96 is also on the other half of the bracket and that was an
ok orange...so maybe this alignment produces very high nice orange
colors....like the 801.5 Stelts, 810 Dill, 940 Mombert, etc.
Not sure what else to say...except to wish everyone a great 2006 Season
growing nice red/orange pumpkins! :-)
