Default flower colour is a good 'tell' for black fruit, even with Beta

As we talked about in another thread here, I was able to tell the flowers of a black fruit from those of a red one, and indeed all my predictions of black were correct. Also, the one 'black flowered' sib in my Zosis F2 turned out to have a Beta allele, so it appears that the flower colour for black was dominant to the Beta type flower - at least, in this case with only one Beta allele.
