Hybrid windflower question

[Tiffany]

I've been looking around online and I'm finding differing answers on cross breeding windflowers. There is a video on youtube that says red/white make pink white/white make blue and blue/blue make purple. But another says red/orange make pink and pink/blue make hybrid red and 2 hybrid reds make purple. Can somone who has done please give me the correct info? Thanks

I know for sure that two blue windflowers will produce a purple windflower. Although I will add that the two blue windflowers I used were from a hybrid island, so I'm not sure if that matters any.

No idea about the two hybrid reds, though.

I have a guide I wrote that covers this, and is pretty much accurate:

This is from the most thorough write-up I've seen (other than K's above):

Windflowers make use of 3 genes: R, Y, and W. However, because orange windflowers take the place of yellows, it may be more fitting to call the Y gene the O gene instead for this species.

Seed red = RR-oo-WW
Seed orange= rr-OO-WW
Seed white = rr-oo-Ww

Red + orange: pink = Rr-Oo-WW (100%)
White + white: blue = rr-oo-ww (25%)
Red + blue: “hybrid red” = Rr-oo-Ww (100%)
Pink + blue: “special pink” = Rr-Oo-Ww (25%)
Pink + blue: “hybrid red” = Rr-oo-Ww (25%)
Hybrid red + hybrid red: purple = RR-oo-ww (6.25%, O gene can be anything)
Special pink + special pink: purple = RR-**-ww (6.25%)
Special pink + hybrid red: purple = RR-**-ww (6.25%)

Additionally, half of the blue offspring from two hybrid reds will be special blues with the genes Rr-oo-ww, which have a 25% chance of producing purples when bred together. You can tell these special blues apart from normal blues by test breeding with a seed orange. Special blues will produce pinks 50% of the time, normal blues will only produce oranges. It’s not yet clear if this method is faster, but it is an alternate method of increasing your chances if you’re struggling to get purples.

Mystery island pink = RR-OO-Ww
Mystery island blue = Rr-oo-ww

Island pink + island pink: purple = RR-OO-ww (25%)
Island blue + island blue: purple = RR-oo-ww (25%)
Island blue + island pink: purple = RR-Oo-ww (25%)

I can confirm that red/orange make pink.
