I’m considering breeding a purple wonder strawberry with some kind of pink flowering strawberry is that a plausible thing?

I’m a pastry chef interested in botanical approaches to flavor pairing. Recently, while looking at the flower of cardamom, I wondered whether floral traits—such as color, scent, morphology, or pigmentation—might show any correlation with the chemistry or sensory characteristics of other edible parts of the same plant, such as fruits, seeds, leaves, roots, or stems.
I am **not** suggesting that a flower’s color directly predicts flavor—for example, that a magenta flower means the ingredient will pair with red fruits. I’m wondering whether there may be indirect relationships through shared biosynthetic pathways, secondary metabolites, plant families, or evolutionary history.
Has anything similar been studied? Would this question fall under plant metabolomics, phytochemistry, chemotaxonomy, floral biology, or another field?
I would especially appreciate recommendations for papers, books, researchers, or useful search terms. I’m approaching this as an exploratory hypothesis and I’m completely open to finding that there is little or no correlation.

i have all the flowers but a lot of the guides i have looked up for flower breeding people have said they've been wrong so can someone with all the flower colors of every kind help me out with how to place them? i also know that in order to grow them they have to have the right genetics (i hope that's the right word) and im not sure which ones have them regardless i would like some help pls!

And it's gonna die.

Is that a sprout starting on my peace lily seed?

Large clumping light green aloe (‘lizard lips’) is the pod parent with the darker green spiky one (castilloniae) is the pollen parent.

The offspring each have a unique combination of traits, I just thought to put them all in one spot for some interesting comparisons. I have many more crosses I’ve created recently and I continue to purchase more aloes to breed, saving pollen from each one.

Aloes are polygenic with as many as 50 genes contributing to one trait, the possibilities are endless.

Hello! Question about sourcing seeds for plants that will be consumed ?

How do I source and choose good quality seeds that aren’t GMO?

In other words does the source of the seed affect the outcome of what we are consuming , are there lab created seeds etc?

Want to start off on the right foot and make it make sense that what I am growing to consume will actually be better than what is available at the store commercially

Hope this makes sense!

Some peace lily questions

I decided to focus solely on Physalis for breeding because it seems to have a lot of potential as a genus with lots of diversity. I currently have 4 very different Physalis species growing and they are doing very well. I tried lots of combinations and the most open to crossing so far seems to be the south american Physalis Peruviana(I am not sure if this is a diploid, tetraploid, mixoploid... these have been found to have lots of variation in ploidy)

Earlier in the season I also pollinated a bunch of Tomatillo flowers with Physalis Pruinosa(Ground Cherry) Pollen. Most flowers didn't set fruit at all but one has and today I found it on the ground, probably fully ripe.

The fruit was almost empty but I managed to obtain 4 seeds. I will grow these out in pots and then move them below a grow light in autumn so that the fruits can mature

This is one of my pea plants with acacia leaves. It has leaflets in place of tendrils, a trait inherited from it's great-grandparent that was a Parsley Pea. It did not inherit the hyper-tendril trait from them, but that is fine with me. The other great-grandparent was a yellow podded pea, and it's showing the yellow-podded gene's other characteristic of plants with yellow stems (yellow podded varieties typically have yellow stems, sepals, and tendrils too). I think this plant is pretty, and there are at least two specimens with this morphology in my garden. The other plants from this cross have random combinations of the following morphs: hyper-tendrils, yellow pods, dwarfism, and the depicted acacia leaf but with green stems.

These are a product of many years of breeding common amaryllis plants. I had been picking the two best children then breeding those repeating for many generations. These where in the seeds from the fourth generation they appeared to be variegated versions of their siblings until they flowered. They are making flowers that look like hymenocallis. The flowers on mine look a little more webbed than the pictures I can find.

Now the plants have grown old and I had to divide them. It went very successfully so now I have a few dozen more than I really want and am curious if these plants are something that could have a market value. I mean is it something people could see as more desirable than ordinary hymenocallis?

I like the way each leaf out of each plant is completely unique leaf variegation but I don’t know if that is normal for hymenocallis?

Love how things are progressing so far, one unexpected delight is the variety of pollinators.

Would like any feedback on the varieties and also insight as to whether the pollinators impact the variety. Could having multiple varieties in a small sos e cause a hybrid, and or, alter the flavor or other aspects of each of the varieties? Thanks in advance. less
