Owie, just beautiful, thanks for posting.
Tom, can you give us some idea of the correlation between blossom/anther colour and tuber colour (skin/flesh)? Or is that classified information... |

Owiebrian,woohoo. Those are beautiful. Way to go! I remember you sowed your TPS a tad earlier than me. I checked mine last weekend and saw one flower cluster but too soon to tell
![]() Salix, for what I gather in the various forums I read about potatoes... red in the anthers cue red flesh, rust or dark brown is blue...the stems/axils cue to skin colors. Red thumb (red skin, red flesh) Mule skinner blues (blue skin/blue flesh) I would like also to distinguish other combinations too like Yellow flesh but only Skagit Valley Gold has bright green-yellow leaves that stands out as different.

Owiebrain - You're right - I never noticed how beatiful the flowers are until this year. These are Caribe Flowers...

Wendy, thanks for the color info!
Nicky, gorgeous flowers! I see you're surrounded by cornfields like me. Corn & beans, corn & beans, as far as the eye can see...
