The only ones I can think of that were even suggested to possibly have a red modifier were Donovan's Larkspur line. They were impressively pink. Crossing Cayenne Fire to Hypo Lavender was my first step towards recreating (and perhaps improving on) this look.



The Hypo Lavender above is from Stephen Sharp in the UK. Her male clutchmates do have fantastic coloration, but nothing necessarily requiring any known red modifying mutation. This is the only photo I have currently, though it's not very well lit.



Her offspring with another nicely colored Hypo Lavender were nice, but again, nothing particularly extraordinary. I expect my '16 holdback to look much like her dam in another couple of years.
