"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.
