PINK Roses ... spawning a Blue Rose? o.O

[fallenchaoskitten]

I don't know what happened... but in my cycle town TWO PINK ROSE spawned a BLUE ROSE.
I was completely shocked... A blue rose from two pink roses?
...
I figured my game glitched...
but then...
yesterday...

I was TTing to grow hybrids when suddenly they breed another blue rose!?! WTF???
Nothing special is about these two pink roses. I picked them up from the rest of my pink ones?
So far they have never given me a pink rose... only 3 red roses and 2 blue roses have spawned off of this pair.
I don't understand. o.o

I mean. I have a flower order for 30 pink roses... I'm trying to breed pink roses. All there is is pink roses in that area. Nothing else... How is it possible that these two pink roses have not spawned a single pink rose but has spawn 2 blue roses?
... I am entirely lost...

As anything like this happen to anyone else?

I had a similar experience. My little brother grew a blue rose next to a pink and now he has a multitude of blue roses.

Never had that happen, and I used to have a range of pink roses to spawn more of it's own kind >~>

These two practically refuse to spawn a pink rose. XP
I had the same problem with pink tulips.
I had more luck spawning a pink tulips from r&w pairs than my p&p pairs...

But I never had something like this happen.

@ averylee97
Blue roses seem to breed really well for me, too, so I didn't need more of them. XP

The pink roses that spawned your blue rose must have been the progeny of hybrid red roses. Technically wouldn't that give the pink rose the right "recessive" trait to breed a blue rose?

Where's a Punnett square when you need one?

As long as the flowers in question came from a parent capable of breeding the flower that bloomed, it will be able to create that flower, due to having it's "genes". So, if the pink roses you had came from a pink rose that came from a pink rose that came from another pink rose that came from a red rose or whatever that was capable of breeding a blue rose, the pink roses you have would be able to breed a blue rose. At least, I think that's how it works. It's complicated. .-.

Pretty sure you're right. The flower breeding in ACNL is based on Mendel's laws of inheritance (where we get the concepts of dominant and recessive genes), and that's very roughly how it works.

What are the chances that two pink roses randomly picked out of 30+ pink roses would be paired correctly to breed a blue rose? XP

 

[averylee97]

The odds < 1/870. Just sayin'.

I know... It's weird...

And as an update...
Checked this morning and they still haven't bred me a single pink rose. XP
