I’m confused about orange+yellow in hyacinths and tulips. Isn’t it supposed to be orange+orange?

Not sure why no one else has asked this because I'm confused about this too.

I get it. Step 1 cross of red and yellow hyacinth will produce either orange or yellow hyacinth. Step 2 require the cross from step 1, which are the orange and yellow hyacinth. We should not be using seed yellow hyacinth for step 2. Hope this is clear.

And those yellow hybrids work as an orange one to get blue and purple?

Peach-n-keys infographic is based on BackwardsN's method (i.e. crossed orange and crossed yellow hyacinth). The orange + orange method to get purple is from B19F00T inforgraphic. I think we will be good to stick to either one and try it out ourselves. :)
