Flower hybrid help: Is it better....

[Paradise]

Hey!
Question

For example, let's say I wanted to breed 2 flowers to get 1 pink flower. Would it be better to breed a red and a white flower to get a pink one, OR a pink and a pink flower to get 1 more pink one.

See what i'm hinting?

Like if I want blue pansies, and I already have 2 blue pansies, should I put those 2 pansies together to make 1 more?

Basically I'm asking is it better to breed 2 flowers of the same color to get 1 more of that color? Or stick with the "possible" breeding colors.

Sorry if this is confusing. Hope you can help!

I believe it is a higher chance to get desired hybrid from two hybrids of the same color.

Edit: Maybe not. Guides are saying otherwise? Now I'm unsure.

Well pink and pink flowers actually don't breed to make another pink. for pink you're going to need red and white. For other colours like blue and black you can breed blue and blue and black and black to make another one.

Does that only go for black and blue?
What other colors do that apply to?

I believe this just goes for black, blue and purple flowers.

I've always had more luck breeding from the same types of flowers. I'm managing well with blue roses quite at the minute breeding from a couple of pairs. Pink flowers I've found very easy to breed from each other, same with carnations

Hybrids are similar to a palette of colours. Red and white paint will create a pinky colour. It is the same with the majority of flowers. For example putting pink and pink together on a piece of paper will create just a larger amount of that colour. This is reoccurring with all of the colours. Blue and blue createsmore blue. Putting white and white together is less of a chance of getting blue than putting multiple blues together. Well white and white making blue is impossible in reality but you see where I'm coming from. Right?

As said above the 'post merge', I have found this false. I have JUST created a new town and I watered all of my hybrids ensuring they don't die and two of my pink roses turned into three pink roses. Unless this is some sought of miracle (which it is most probably not) I have found different. I will do a test to find the actual reality. And I will show proof.

No breeding 2 purples works but I don't think 2 oranges, I believe you just get yellow.

Hmmm... I have just checked on thonky and it seems as if pink and pink doesn't make pink. I am unsure of what has happened and I am definitely going to create a test. My red and white roses are nearby so that may be the difference...

Yeah, I'm pretty confused about that. I could've swore that putting two of the same color would just create more of that color? It makes more sense than not.

Not necessarily. Just recently as today, I bred two orange cosmos and obtained another orange cosmo.

You've probably already googled and seen this or something like it, but I've always used this image.

For instance with cosmos you can breed a pink with a pink to get either a white, red, or pink flower. But red + white only makes pink. So you have a much better chance of getting pink with red + white since that's all they can make. It also helps since this way you don't need to clear out the unwanted white or red you would get from pink + pink.

As far as I can tell all flowers can make a pink out of pink + pink but some may result in other colors too.

Breeding orange with orange isn't always guaranteed to spawn orange flowers. You may get other hybrids, such as purple tulips or black cosmos, instead.

As for breeding pink hybrids with pink hybrids, I spawned more pink hybrids that way.

I've found that breeding pink roses with pink roses produces pink roses less often than other hybrids breeding to produce their own color. Most of the time, even with a golden shovel + fertilizer, pink roses and pink roses make white or red roses, but it is still possible for them to produce pink roses, it's just less common which sucks.

I find this helps me a lot:

x= red flower
y= white flower
z= pink flower
