Anand Kumar ji,
i have a book for identifying wild flowers by color. There are more than 100
pages just for yellow color. Red, purple, blue are between 30 an 60 pages.
around 40 for white color. my personal observation is also that i see more
yellow colors. About 500 meter behind our house starts the protected area
(Landschaftsschutzgebiet). No building of new houses, not letting ur dog free
running tc.etc. But there are some Mais farms. Farmers transport Animal manure
to their fields. I don't know if the plants i see there on the roadside are
natural or not. they certainly come into contact with the civilisation.
The beekeepers keep the beehives in woody area over the winter. in spring many
beekeepers take their bee population to apple and other fruit-plantations to
help pollinate the flowers ad also to get more honey. i suppose, when the bees
come back to their normal place they are "infected".
When i ride my bicycle thru the protected area i feel i am in the nature. I
feel it is difficult to say what is nature. Even the Alps have changed the face.
Anyway i was talking about what i see well withing this protected area. In my
garden i plant roses, dahlia, rhododendron and try to make a good mixture od
colors. black tulip and blue rose? i think in holland nothing is impossible
:-(((.
regards
Nalini

Naliniji: I was thinking of what is found in nature naturally. All the
cultivated and developed varieties would have differrent colours. But I am told
that perfectly blue rose and perfectly black tulip has not been developed as
yet. I don't know whether it has happened now. About your observation I have
only one doubt. I hope you are not drawing conclusion from the garden flowers
which are generally from improved seeds.
I had read somewhere that brown eye gene is more dominant as compared to blue
eye gene and therefore the number of people with blue eyes is gradually
decreasing in the world. Unfortunately I have not been a student of life
sciences so I do not have thaat amount of technical knowledge.
When I had mentioned light purple, I had in mind that white is also dominant,
and pink is another common colour like in lotus and lilies. Maybe I am wrong,
and that is why I wanted to know the correct status. I also feel that white is
found more in tropeical region whereas temperate region has more colours.
Best wishes,
akbhatt

well, in germany, we find more yellow color for flowers, cartainly from red
to violet all shades can be seen, but yellow one sees much more and blue is
vary rare. I also collect seeds from gardenflowers if i like their color but
in my garden they somehow change the color. i tried to pollinate too, but
perhaps insects and not humans do it correctly?. perhaps here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendelian_inheritance one may get some answers.

Is light purple the most popular flower colour in nature? I had read
somewhere that balsam whatever the colour degenerates a few generations later
to the same colour. that is why you need new seeds polllinated by the same
variety.
