This is a cross I made for my Rainbow Pea project in 2014.
Telephone is another one of those lovely old-fashioned tall peas. I like it a lot because it tastes really good and grows really tall, so I chose it to be the foundation of the project. Flowers are white.
Haka came from GRIN. It's about 60cm tall and has gorgeous violet flowers because of the ar allele.
The F1 was tall with wild type purple flowers as expected, and nice and vigorous.
3/16 of the F2 should show the violet flowers I'm looking for. 4/16 will be white, and I'll eat those. Similarly 1/4 will be short and will be eaten. Overall I expect 9/64 to be tall and violet. I'm growing about 100 plants.
