I did a search on the forum and didn't find any threads asking this particular question, so I thought I'd throw it out there. I understand there's a 1% chance to get black or white seeds from a particular cross-pollination effort. However, I wondered if anyone has noticed any kind of pattern at all to getting these mutant seeds? I know most people are probably getting their black and white seeds from the naturalist quest but I kind of hate doing it on Siege....
I'm in the process of trying to cross pollinate the regular seeds to get all the plant types and colors on Siege and have kept track of the couple of cross-pollinations that have resulted in black or white seeds during the last couple of weeks. They are as follows:
Red poppies x red poppies (one plant gave white poppies seeds)
Red lilies x red lilies (one plant is going to give black lilies seeds)
Plain campion x blue fern (the plain campion gave black lilies seeds)
Red campion x purple small palm (red campion gave black pampas grass seeds)
Yellow campion x orange lilies (yellow campion gave black snowdrops seeds)
I hesitate to say there's any kind of pattern here, but I do wonder. Therefore, I'm planning to start more plants in all these colors and try the same cross-pollinations again to see what the results are. Just wondered if anyone else has seen white or black seeds from these same cross-pollinations, or maybe noticed anything else unusual.
