I genuinely love hybrids, ever since Wild World and New Horizons is no different. It's the one thing I do daily and after learning how the genetics system works (with the help of a friend messing around with it as well), I love them even more... especially the fact that this was also a thing in New Leaf!
With the fact now known that flowers have genetics, with so many different variables in these flowers you end up with a TON of unique ways to get certain flower pairs yielding really neat results. If you have taken a look at the Hybrid Guide I wrote up (not a shameless plug, I swear) and you took a look at the "extended method" for Blue Roses, that's basically a teaser at what is possible. It's just really awesome to me, and my friend has been messing around with it just like me, and with what they found and told me, I ended up with a method for Black Cosmos that has a 25% yield rate! Not all of my work obviously, a lot of this was the help with my friend.
Anyways, mostly just made this thread to gush about hybrids and I kinda wanted to keep this method off the guide I wrote since I didn't want it becoming too confusing to follow since I made it to be pretty bare minimum and straightforward.
Anyways, here's that method I mentioned in table form, follow as numbered instructions going down. A dumbed down explanation of "genes" are a value 0 to 2, in the Red/Yellow/White scale. It's pretty confusing until you get the idea behind it.
Anyways, this is probably going to look very confusing, and pretty much most of the credit goes to a friend not on this site:

Not in my main breeding plots. ;~; I don't plan to throwing those away soon.
