But then, I'm like you. I always question and wonder more than accept verbatim.
I always question, as you do.

So where are the dark genes coming from? Not SC. A "pink". A 'striped pink", all possibilities but Al Anderson has introduced several varieties from Fred Siegel, and well, I mean, ahem, Al, whom I don't know, hasn't always gotten everything right even with known varieties.

I'm actually more interested in the origin of what led to the mahogany color than I am with any striping, but you already know that about me from posts made here and there.
