Cross-Pollination

Plain, black and white seeds are dull colored. Other colors come in dull and bright.
Crossing two different colors yields a dull color.
Crossing two identical colors yields a bright color.
Self-pollination will result in the same color and brightness.

There are three primary colors: red, blue, yellow.
There are three secondary colors: purple, green, orange.
Crossing two different primary colors will give a secondary color.
Crossing a primary and a secondary color will give a primary color.
Crossing two different secondary colors will give a primary color.
Crossing plain pollen with any other pollen will give plain pollen.

Crossing Species - specifics

Using the following chart, you will be able to determine the result of cross pollinating two different plants.
The offshoot of any two plants can be found by locating the plant halfway between the two parents horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
For example, lilies and snowdrops have bulrushes between them. Crossing these two plants will result in seeds that produce bulrushes.

To determine the parents of a plant, do the reverse. Locate the plant you want. Count away from the plant in opposite directions for the same number of spaces.
For example, if you start at bulrushes, moving two tiles in either direction gives you poppies and pampas grass. These two plants will combine to give bulrushes.
There can be more than one combination of parents to produce a plant.

Species Chart

You can also use a linear table to determine cross pollination results.

Quick method- Add the numbers of two plants and divide by two for the resulting offshoot of these two plants. In the case of odd numbers, round down.

Parent plants always appear the same number of spaces left and right. If parent 1 is two spaces to the left then parent 2 will be two spaces to the right.
Plants side by side have a 50/50 chance of producing an offshoot of either parent.

Example 1: Plant 13 + Plant 14 = 27/2 = 13.5
The offshoot could be either 13 or 14 since the parent plants are next to each other.

Example 2: Plant 9 + Plant 16= 25/2 = 12.5 The offshoot will be plant 12.
