I have also had some crosses with very high numbers of albino seedlings. Both parents must the gene for it to get such high numbers. I don't recall any of the crosses right now, but I think STRAWBERRY CANDY was one of the parents that threw a lot of aalbino seedlings.

I also suspect that there is a genetic predisposition to albino seedlings that some parents are more likely to throw them but have not discovered any studies to support that idea.

Last year I had the most albinos from 'Lady Betty Fretz x Tierra Del Fuego'. I had 1 from 'Over The Top x Some Sweet Day'.

So far this year I have 2 albinos from a cup of 5 seedlings of the cross 'Nature's Blue Waves x Fancy Face' but I'm just getting started with the majority of my seeds.

Berrytea4me - I had 2 albino's from 'Fancy Face x Baby Blue Eyes'. No sign of albinos from my other Fancy Face crosses though.

I'm getting at least 40% albinos from any cross with Space Coast Pattern Plus. Very frustrating, as I wanted all those crosses to work. One of the seedlings first appeared to be albino, but over a period of one month has changed to a pale mint green with some evidence of darker green striping on the leaves. Hmmm, we'll see what happens.
I always leave my albinos to die a natural death, just in case they decide to get some color and live. This has happened a couple of times. They are getting sufficient light, so I know that's not the issue. I have also noticed that these albinos from SC Pattern Plus have lived quite a while and are 5" tall now and not dying. Anyone else have any crosses with SC Pattern Plus?

I have had a number of albino seedlings but did not record the crosses. In my experience diploids seem to be more prone to producing albino than tetraploids. None of my albino seedlings lived for very long.

If they are true albinos, then they will die. There is no way around that outcome.

We've had more in dips than in tets also.

final tally in from 'Nature's Blue Waves x Fancy Face'
7 of 15 were albino- seems like a very high percentage for one cross.

Also saved some open pollenated STELLA DE ORO seeds just to do some experiments with and one cup of 8 came up with 4 albinos. Not scientific measure yet because most of the seeds collected are not germinated. It could just be that I randomly selected the albinos from the lot.
