You would think that there is a single gene that would control the on/off switch for orange in the background color, wouldn't you?
I have been using that criteria when looking for Candy Canes, and who knows I may run into one or two eventually. I always say you find your best deals on a house, car, or boat at a divorce sale. I run into some really nice corns when someone is getting out of the business, otherwise they would never part with the awesome breeders.
