"I think historians have concluded that Mendel himself airbrushed the data 
just a bit."



Hm, maybe heredity of two colors and two shapes at pea's seeds is less 
complicated than heredity of colors in Moraea. There are also gene 
interactions, epistasis (dominant and recessive), inhibition, complementary 
factors of heredity, "compensation" (I don't know proper English term, but 
this interaction is typical for plants - dominant aleles of two genes act 
against each other, so phenotype of heterozygots is same as phenotype of 
double recessive homozygots, A-B- looks like aabb etc.). 




But these crosses are very nice, indeed.
