regular 01 white x regular 30 red gives 10 and 11 red.

11 red x regular 01 white gives regular 03 blue...
11x11 red pansies give 10 red and 13 blue (0001 0011), very similar to 01 white pansies producing 03 blues.
- Can also produce 31 reds, 01 whites(?)

10x10 red pansies give more 10 reds, normal 30 reds(?) and 00 whites.
00x00 whites seem to produce nothing but more of themselves. So I guess these are all useless.
Well, we did it Reddit. We found the elusive special reds. Of course this path to getting purple pansies is almost entirely useless since you can't tell any of the mutant reds apart from each other, but at least we've proved the concept.
These purples have 33 flags, as opposed to the 3f of the seedbag purples, but as we've seen with pink roses flowers having a different flag setup depending on their parents is entirely normal.
31s also produce more 31s and ordinary 30 reds.
33 purples seem quite happy to produce more of themselves.
Incidentally, those 13 blues produce 03 blues and- OH
More 33 purples! This is maybe slightly more useful than 31 reds since you can actually tell you have a result after a point, but still not really. Depends on what 11x10 reds produces.
So looking at this, you can see multiple cases where same-breeding causes a 1 to become a 3 (ie, the next highest bit is ticked), as well as cases where the ones bit vanishes. Same as r/r pink and black roses.
Whitexwhite = purple roses have a similar pattern but with 04 to 0c, so it might be more accurate to look at flower flags as four pairs of bits rather than two sets of four. There's no outcome there where the fours-place bit is set to zero instead though, even though that can happen with 10 red pansies to 00 whites.
This may shed some light on why 00 white pansies don't seem to produce any form of blues, and why those 00 golds produced nothing at all (since nothing can hybridize gold roses obviously). You need at least one flag to determine where more flags go.
On the other hand, you'll never see a 3 or c lose a flag unless it's bred with both flags zeroed on the other flower, and then you'll only see the higher bit cleared- ie, 1 and 4 but never 2 or 8.
30 red x 03 blue produces 11 red, one flag from each.
13 blue x 33 purple produces more of either.
