Sample "DNA" string; bracketed letters inserted for tracking purposes: 95.4[A], 0xc3264[B], 4[C], 8[D], 29.0[E], 0.6[F], 1.6[G], 1.1[H], 20.8[I], 31.0[J], 1.1[K], 4[L], 0.1[M], 0.0[N], 0.0[0], 0.2[P], 1.9[Q], 0.0[R], 0.3[S], -0.0[T], 0x9fa8e4[U], 0x8f86de[V], 7.4[W], 10.4[X], 11[Y], 15[Z], 20[AA], 0[BB]
Another sample: 95.4, 0xc3264, 4, 8, 29.0, 0.6, 1.6, 1.1, 20.8, 31.0, 1.1, 4, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0, 0.2, 1.9, 0.0, 0.3, 0.0, 0x9fa8e4, 0x8f86de, 7.4, 10.4, 11, 15, 2.0, 0.0
Current favorites:
95.4, 0xc3264, 4, 8, 29.0, 0.6, 1.6, 1.1, 20.8, 31.0, 1.1, 4, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0, 0.2, 1.9, 0.0, 0.3, 0.0, 0x9fa8e4, 0x8f86de, 7.4, 10.0, 0, 9, 2.0, 0.0 (bellflower-- which it doesn't really look much like, but makes me think of anyway somehow)
95.4, 0x90036, 3, 55, 55.0, 0.1, 4.0, 1.2, 80.0, 0.0, 0.1, 3, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0, 0.2, 1.9, 0.0, 0.3, 0.0, 0x9fa8e4, 0x8f86de, 7.4, 10.0, 12, 9, 0.0, 0.8 (passionflower tree)
95.4, 0x90036, 3, 55, 55.0, 0.0, 4.0, 1.2, 80.0, 0.0, 0.1, 3, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0x9a2112, 0xffffff, 7.4, 10.0, 12, 9, 0.0, 0.8 (splat-- looks nicer than it sounds)
95.4, 0x90036, 1, 55, 55.0, 0.0, 4.0, 1.2, 80.0, 0.0, 0.1, 11, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0xb8f47c, 0x9a2112, 7.4, 10.0, 12, 9, 0.0, 0.8 (megasplat; ditto)
Last variable [BB]-- outermost petal sides' degree of curvature between endpoint and base: 0 generates sharp triangles; 1 generates circular arcs; larger values generate double-convex bows if width permits. Negative values do not appear to generate concavity.
Second-to-last [AA]-- variance of petal sides' curvature from inner tiers outward: positive values start rounder then sharpen out; negative values start sharper then round out.
[Z]-- exact number of petals in outermost tier: 0 eliminates the outermost tier altogether; negative values eliminate multiple tiers.
[Y]-- variance in the number of petals between tiers? Variable interaction between the exact number of inmost petals (min. phenotype 2) and the exact number of outermost petals. Extreme negative values collapse the entire flower into a stunted petalless center.
[X]-- length of outermost petals: minimum phenotype is a small vestigal border at 0, with no further effect from extreme negative numbers.
[W]-- length of innermost petals; min. phenotype at 0? A separate variable controls the radius of the center circle.
[V]-- outermost tier petal-infill color (initial two digits 0x remain constant?): 000000 = 0x0 = black; 001100 = green; 010001=blue; 01(etc)= turquoise; 10(etc)= red; 11(etc) = mauve; ff(etc) = white
[U]-- center color, more or less as above: corresponds to center boundary rather than center/petal infill?
[T]-- relative dominance of infill/border colors: for negative values, the infill color blots out the underlying borders with a heavy overlay, even more intense than the normal infill.
[S]-- randomization of outermost borders: high positive values go fiesta and penetrate toward center
[R]-- shift of central border color away from constant central infill color

[Q]-- petal border width (or rather, degree of inner infill by another color? inmost "border" corresponds to [U]?)
[P]-- petal shade variance (black added to same hue)
[O]-- petal tint variance (white added to same hue)
[N]-- petal hue randomization (min phenotype 0)
[M]-- randomized petal length within each tier-- high values look really deformed; min phenotype 0
[L]-- number of tiers
[K]-- radius of center circle (min. phenotype ~0.15? extremely low values collapse entire flower into stunted dots)
[J]--

[I]-- horizontal spread?
[H]-- trunk widening (proportional to height)
[G]-- trunk width
[F]--
[E]-- maximum total stem length? horizontal sprawl?
[D]-- randomization of individual stem lengths (min phenotype 0)
[C]-- number of flowers (min phenotype 1; decimal places and negative values don't process)
[B]-- stem/seed color
[A]-- height from ground where branching starts; tends to limit total possible height?
