Flower Genome Theories
General Color Theory in all flowers
- Primary colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow
Cyan Shade 1............Shade 2............Shade 3............Shade 4
Magenta Shade 1............Shade 2............Shade 3............Shade 4
Yellow Shade 1............Shade 2............Shade 3............Shade 4
- Secondary colors: Blue, Green, Red
- Red = Magenta + Yellow
- Green = Cyan + Yellow
- Blue = Cyan + Magenta
Blue Shade 1............Shade 2............Shade 3............Shade 4
Green Shade 1............Shade 2............Shade 3............Shade 4
Red Shade 1............Shade 2............Shade 3............Shade 4
- Other color combinations
- Black = Cyan + Magenta + Yellow (Grey is only a light black in color terms)
- Orange = Magenta + Yellow + Yellow
See Sea Lily Colors for a general color reference chart.
GENE NAMES ARE THE NAMES OF COLORS NOT THE COLORS THEMSELVES. AS AN EXAMPLE, DO NOT CONFUSE THE GENE NAME Orange or the abbreviated gene name O with the color orange.
- 4 Shades of a primary color exist which produce progressively richer and denser coloring from 1 to 4. Notation is Colorx where x=1 to 4 shades.
- Example: Mag2 = Two shades of Magenta in a sea lily = GOOO GOOO
When x is used in a notation such Uxxx, each x must equal the same gene name, like URRR or UOOO or IYY.
The color key codes for x can be different for each flower type! So check carefully.
Orchid Genome Theory
Updated for T8 Gene Colors: (A)mber, (V)iolet, (R)ed, (I)ndigo, (P)ink, (L)avender, (T)urquoise
"V" is a separator, it does nothing but prevent overlaps of gene sets.
- Color gene sets
- Lx for the stem
- xL for the leaves
- Pxx for main petals
- Px for upper petal
- xP for front petal
- xxx or LPx for lower petals.
- Color key for x
- x=I for cyan
- x=T for magenta
- x=A for yellow
- Size gene sets
- PITA for giant
- ATIP for dwarf
- Giant and Dwarf genes cancel each other out exactly so there are no half dwarves/giants.

Rose Genome Theory
Updated for T8 Gene Colors: (A)mber, (R)ed, (I)ndigo, (P)ink, (L)avender, (T)urquoise
- Petal color gene sets
- Pxx = Outer Petal
- xxP = Inner Petal
- Petal color key
- I=Cyan
- T=Magenta
- A=Yellow
- Stamen and leaves gene sets
- xL = Stamen
- Lx = Leaves
- Stamen and leaves color key
- P=Cyan
- I=Magenta
- T=Yellow
Size is encoded as below:
PITAL = Giant x 1
LATIP = Dwarf x 1
I don't believe Giant is x1, a 2xDwarf + 1xGiant is not the same size as a 1xDwarf, but a bit smaller. /McArine
A rose which is 3xGiant + 1xDwarf is the exact same size as a rose with no size modifiers. /Peacefulness, T10
The number of fertilizations it takes to split is independent of genome and randomly assigned to each individual flower when it is planted.
Sand Bloom Genome Theory
Updated for T8 Gene Colors: A(Z)ure, (A)mber, (V)iolet, (R)ed, (I)ndigo, (P)ink, (L)avender, (T)urquoise
- Color gene sets
- xA for right outer petal
- Ax for left outer petal
- Lx for upper inner petal
- xL for lower inner petal
- Vx for the center ring
- xV for the inner circle
- Color key for x
- I = magenta
- T = yellow
- P = cyan
- Size gene sets
- PITA for giant
- ATIP for dwarf
- Normal size = 0 (size of Sacrifice or Sunshine)
- Giant gene set = PITA = +1 (size of Calliope)
- Dwarf gene set = ATIP = -3 (Petit Mal is dwarfx2)
- further size testing: When combining Giant and Dwarf genomes, the size changes are not completely explained by the above numbers. By analyzing flower heights, I have found that there is a clear visual pattern, with overlapping. Illustrations available at the bottom of the Sand Blooms page
'Z' is a spacer to separate color coding as on Lemon Drop it keeps TA and TL from becoming AT and LT.
- Fertilization gene set
- LAVR (T8 colors) reduces the number of fertilizations by one.

Lily Color Gene Sets
- Stamen parts are colored by Vx, Vxx, and Vxxx. Color intensity can increase on the separate stamen levels, since their gene sets overlap.
- Inner East Petal Set Lxxx (see color Key below)
- LPPP=Cyan
- Inner West Petal Set Lxyz
- LIPP = Cyan
- LPII = Magenta
- LPIP = Yellow
- Outer South Petal Set Axxx (see color Key below)
- Example: xxx=III=Magenta
- Outer North Petal Set Axyz
- AIPP = Cyan
- APIP = Magenta
- APPI = Yellow
- Color key for x
- P = Cyan
- I = Magenta
- T = Yellow
Size Gene Sets
Normal size = 0.0 (size of most original lilies)
Giant gene set = PITA = +0.5
Dwarf gene set = ATIP = -1.0 (size of Delicate)
Semidwarf = PITA(Giant) + ATIP(Dwarf) = +0.5 + (-)1.0 = -0.5 (size of Dusk)

- Note: How many different sizes still need to be determined T7 Found sizes between the above listed (Rania)
Fertilization Rate Gene Sets
Default lily fertilization rate = 48.
'N' gene reduces regular fertilization by 2.
- Example: Energy requires the least number of fertilizations because it contains ten(10) 'N' genes or 10 x 2 ferts less than the default of 48 fertilizations or just 28 ferts to split. See Genomes
- Note: 12 'N' genes is the maximum for reducing fertilizations. The 'Check the bulb for signs of budding' option on the flowers always appears after 24 fertilizations with basic Flower Fertilizer. More than 12 'N's in a sea lily does not continue to reduce fertilization to split rate.
What is possible with ATITD genetics? There are 125 possible color choices for flowers. Below are 60 of those choices ranging from the color white which is 0 Cyan shades 0 Magenta shades 0 Yellow shades to combining two of the primary colors up to shade 4 each.
