Out of curiosity, what colors of seedlings are your pastel orange plants mostly producing?
Looking at the flowers on mine there appears to be separate layers of pigment with one layer being pink and another light yellow which overlap to give the "peachy" color.

Mostly red, a few pink and an occasional blush white. We have a very large gene pool, and it generally takes at least 3 generations of seedlings produced by emasculating a flower and using a brush to pollinate before there is any recognizable distribution of parental characteristics. Yellow and peach shades have been quite infrequent.
