I think I remember you mentioning that I should get a pink from the pink seeds but the Texas white ones could be a mystery. Thinking

A.arabicum flowers are not normally solid pink. They are normally pink fading to lighter pink/almost white near the throat. They are very similar to obesum in color. The solid pink flowers are A. swazicum which also has a dark pink throat in contrast to obesum and arabicum. The main difference between arabicum and obesum flowers is the size. Obesum flowers are the largest of the genus and arabicum the smallest. Also the arrangement of arabicum flower petals make the flowers look almost round in shape
I am talking about species not hybrids. You can find almost any color flowers in primary and complex hybrids.
Be kind, we all struggle sometimes.
