The strangeness of hybrids...

[Valerie]

Hybrids in WW and CF seemed straight forward

• White +red= pink
• Red+yellow= orange
• red+red= black/ purple (okay, so this one doesn't make total sense, but it was consistent.
• etc.

But for this game, things seem a bit weird. I've heard others mention hybrids springing up from strange pairings. I had a pink rose spring up from a black + red pairing.

Does anyone know: is it just the black hybrids that breed unexpected colors? Or do other pairings give off random colors?

 

[Mint]

Orange + Orange = Black
Had that happen with my orange cosmos.

I've had a blue violet pop up near my purple/white ones, so maybe purple x purple or purple x white (for violets/pansies) = blue ?

 

[Jake]

I have this scan if that helps?

 

[oath2order]

I never knew much about hybrid growing. Do they have dominant and recessive alleles like in real life?

 

[Stevey Queen]

I don't know too much about all that but I think hybrids are a lot more common in this game. Maybe that has something to do with it.

 

[HayHey]

I think it may be alot more detailed. So the genes will go back as far as 'grandparent' flowers. With the recessive and dominate genes. This may be why you get a 'strange' flower out of a pair. ?
So say you had a red and white produces a pink. Then you bred that pink with another pink you may get a red if the parents of the other pink flower had a recessive red gene. ?
Im not sure if this is correct or they would even bother making 'grandparent' genes matter. But any how.

I have this scan if that helps?

on this scan it seems like it also matters if the flower came from either a bag, or from the wild

 

[Fame]

Wow these seem much more complex than other games xD
I love planting hybrids so this is gonna be so much more interesting for me ^^

yeah i noticed that.

I really hope there's a hybrid guide before the game comes out in English versions 'cause dis **** confuzing!

 

[Roxer9000]

this might sound off but Next to my flower garden at the side of it a pink flower grew out of nowhere

Anyone might know this?

 

[Jake]

neighbours planted it?
wifi person planted it?

well if im correct there were roses on the side of where it grew---!

Im so dum :l

 

[Rafflesia]

Can someone explain the first footnote? I have no idea how to breed blue roses.

 

[Roxer9000]

Blue roses are hard in my opinion but my friend says you can get it by in ACCF black+red

Might had changed

 

[Rafflesia]

So has anyone successfully bred purple pansies yet?

 

[Punchyleaf]

There are special flowers (only 2 of them)
I know that they are called "special" something flowers. And I think they are only red...? Zen may be able to clarify. But with these flowers, apparently breeding them gives you odd pairs of hybrids that don't follow usual patterns

Hybriding is quite well done in this iteration of animal crossing. Not only will it take color and origin into account, it will also take into account parents.

So a special flower, red in this case, is one that has been bred from two parents that share a red gene.

Fun right?

 

[Rafflesia]

Liquefy's guide really helps explain things.

 

[Officer Berri]

Gosh this sounds amazing. I'm going to have a whole lot of fun breeding flowers in New Leaf!
