Orange Dream. What is the big deal?

[spitzu]

I hope that I don't get too much hate for this post, but I can't for the life of me figure out what all of the hype is about. Some of the single gene baby pics look kind of cool, but I can't see much of a difference in most of the combos. And the few adult pictures I've seen look like pretty normals.

I hate thinking that everyone is just jumping on the bandwagon, so tell me what I'm missing here. Maybe I just have to see them in person?

I don't have any plans to work with Orange Dreams but the differences I see in most of the combos are much more brighter with creamier/milky tones than their single gene counterparts.

it can produce combos like no other.

To me it's not about the OD itself it's about it's potential.

I still maintain that the single gene OD and pretty much all of the combos are just "meh". Like that leopard OD you linked. It's nice, but imo that is 90% due to the leopard gene.

Admittedly the Super OD combos are definitely pretty sweet looking so far. I wasn't really paying attention to them until now, so I feel kind of silly having posted this thread. I'll reserve judgement until more come out.

Shhhhhh!!! Ozzy will hear you...

Holy Crap.
You forgot the sunglasses warning.

They're nice, but not a gene I'm particularly interested in working with though. They don't bring enough to the table for what they're going for right now imho.

single-gene orange dreams appear to lose all of the orange as they get older.

is that also true for the combos? is it true for the super orange dream?

im not sure, but i suspect this gene maybe just makes block-rocking totally stunning beautiful colorful........ babies and subadults.

Maybe my suspicion is wrong, but i guess ill stay suspicious, unless someone has pictures of totally stunning beautiful 5-year old orange dream combos, where orange dream still visibly plays a role, and im not talking about pattern changes caused by super orange dream. And maybe my suspicion is right and after 5 years, or even earlier, the magic is gone.

Sometimes a hype is justified, i think thats true for example for banana/coral glow and leopard and toffee/candy. But sometimes it isnt, and in this specific case i am just as suspicious as the original poster.

I was pretty much in your camp until the supers came out. I'm still kind of a doubter---what do the supers look like as adults? And I'm just not thrilled about the price tags on the single gene animals, when they are totally going to look like a normals later on.

But as far as I'm concerned, the super ODs did prove that there really was something to it.
