Instead, we know there are at least two genes involved.
AAbb x aaBB > AaBb > 1:16 aabb
With increased numbers of genes, the odds start to drop.
2 genes > 1:16
3 genes > 1:64
4 genes > 1:256
I don't recall exactly how many I planted or how many are blooming, so I can't really calculate odds for each model, but only the two gene model makes sense with the vague number I planted and the several precious blooming plants.
There are several more F2 vines blooming within just a few more days of the first. That first one was a month earlier than the F1 and two months earlier than the parental varieties.
This tells us that the precocious blooming isn't a single gene trait.
AA x aa > Aa > 1AA:2Aa:1aa
This model would not predict the F2s being any different from the F1 or parents.
The parental Phaseolus coccineus varieties from Mexico started blooming on Sept 6, 2023.
The F1 started blooming a month earlier in 2024.
The first F2 started blooming on July 1st, 2025.
I think that's a nice improvement towards locally adapting the genetics to my short-season growing area.
AI Might Kill Us All (With Carbon Emissions)

I ended up with eleven seedlings from the iris cross i made last year, between "Thornbird" and "Hello Darkness".
The cross i tried to make this year didn't seem to take. I think the variety I used as a pollen donor may have been pollen-sterile.
The first of the seed-grown daylilies has bloomed! Because it is behind a fence, the deer didn't have a snack, and we get to enjoy the blooms.
I got these from a coworker whose cousin breeds daylilies. I don't know what their goals are, but I like pretty flowers and had room for some of their extras.
