Thanks, Cesar, for listing the lines correctly.

Talking about flavor....I cooked a tuber of the JACOBSON'S GOLDEN RED BUD a few days ago. It was outstanding even to my long habit of eating different varieties of potatoes. The flesh was a dark orange color and the skin bright red.

I extracted TPS from the berries of this clone and I might list the seed on my website later on.

I have another plot where I have most of the varieties Wingnut has. One of the PI 225677 derived from CHAUCHA CURILLA was sampled and had a good flavor...and was surprised to see it with a unique pattern of blue and light yellow flesh. I had to sample a tuber since I had two kinds of F-1 seed from it. One of the crosses was to Donna Marie...a Skagit Valley Gold cross and that on is an early maturing line with deep yellow/orange flesh with a look like 320370 red w/ yellow eyes.

CHAUCHA CURILLA by the way was collected in a shopkeeper's garden in Colombia back in 1948.

I will list TPS of CHAUCHA CURILLA hybrids this coming winter.
