Basic Clivia Genetics
This is very basic Mendilian Theory
Mutation: Multipetal (Multitepal)

General
Breeding Multipetals is pretty easy, and the results can be seen in the second generation. This shows how some basic breeding will result in different outcomes, using basic Mendilian Genetics
The first cross is Multipetal onto Multipetal

From the results you can see that you will get 100% Multipetal
Now we can cross the Multipetal onto an Orange

Here we can see that we get 100% Orange split Multipetal
Now crossing two Orange/Multipetals

You will see that we get 50% F2 (2nd generation) Orange/Multipetal, 25% Orange and 25% Multipetal
When we then cross an Orange/Multipetal to a Multipetal

We get 50% Orange/Multipetal and 50% Multipetal
Gardens... should be like lovely, well-shaped girls: all curves, secret corners, unexpected deviations, seductive surprises and then still more curves.
