When is it a hybrid?

[kwark]

If you try to grow a hybrid red flower for example, is there a chance you get normal red flowers?

If so, where do the normal reds grow exactly?

 

[nard]

What do you mean 'hybird red' flower? Aren't the base colors all 'normal'? o-o

 

[tinyfire]

No. To get a blue rose you have to breed a hybrid red rose (looks like a normal red) and another rose. To get hybrid red, you breed yellow and normal red(?)

Whether the resulting flowers is hybrid or not depends on the genes of the parents. I don't think you'd get normal red roses, for example, if you tried to breed hybrids using an orange rose and a non-hybrid white rose because only one of them has a red gene. If you used a red and a purple, you could get a normal red rose because the purple can have at least one red gene.

The normal ones show up in the same spots as hybrids, which is next to the parents in some way. There is no real way of telling them apart, unfortunately, so if you want to be extra safe, I'd use a combination like orange and non-hybrid white. You should also make notes of where you laid out the parent flowers, so you know which ones are their offspring, and to put them somewhere your villagers won't go (if your villagers go to your beaches, you can dig holes around the flowers, I think).

It's a flower that looks red but has different genes instead of only red genes. They're used for breeding some hybrids like blue roses or purple pansies.

*sigh* Why did the game developers have to make the hybrid reds exactly the same as the normal reds?

Because otherwise is not red

The hybrid red comes from mixing an orange and purple, but from what I hear it takes forever for the 2 hybrid reds to finally spawn a blue rose though :/

Because they wouldn't be red. It's meant to be similar to how in real-life genetics, in very simple terms, it's possible to carry a gene without it being outwardly displayed.

There still should be something to distinguish the two and make it less frustrating for the player.

Is it hard because I'm trying to grow a hybrid red pansies. So I'm not sure if I get normal red pansies in the process too.

Red x Red is believed to yield a hybrid red (I saw that once, this is the one I believe the most for some reason) or really any red rose that comes from breeding, but then again there's those pesky villagers and yeah...I don't know.

 

[kwark]

I just want to know if the red pansies growing, from the (supposedly) hybrid red pansies, are useless. I don't want to waste time, trying something that is surely not going to work.
